beneath Tukuche Peak ( 6920m )

Tukuche peak ( 6920m, 22,703ft )

is one of the highest 6000m objectives

in the Nepal Himalaya.

It is a picturesque and near symmetrical 2-ridge pyramid

with the NW and SE ridges radiating from the summit.

The obvious and safest route is the NW ridge,

the most frequently climbed presenting low objective danger.

Although the ridge itself is not steep,

it is considered a technical climb,

the elevation exposes climbers to cold and windy conditions.

 Tukuche Peak is classified as a 7000m expedition

with a rating of PD++.

The advanced base camp for the NW Ridge climb

is in the Hidden Valley at ( 5100m, 16,732ft )
