Challenging
It is the most dominating peak of the entire Bandarpoonch massif. Providing a gradual climb from the Southern side eventually leading to a very steep summit climb with a near 70-degree incline and a 75 feet ice wall, the climb to the summit of Black Peak is challenging and technical. Prior high altitude trekking experience and knowledge of mountaineering techniques roping up, jumaring, ice ax, ascending, and descending are mandatory.
The route to the summit of Black Peak is crevassed and requires careful negotiations. Beyond the summit camp at 5500 meters, the route to its summit is very steep and requires good stamina, endurance, and technical skills. The course is exhilarating, with numerous obstacles along the way. The summit is attempted through a vertical ice wall of 80 degrees, an extremely technical and challenging part of the expedition. It is the trickiest part where one has to be super conscious while ascending or descending.
