	Rock Climbing Forums: Archive: World Climbing News: Jean-Christophe Lafaille on Makalu
		After Makalu, the remaining two peaks in JC’s quest to become the first French Mountaineer and 13th man to summit all fourteen of the world’s 8000 meter peaks are Kangchenjunga and Everest.
		Lafaille is not new to Makalu: He attempted to solo a new route on the peak in the Spring of 2004, reaching the summit of Makalu’s secondary peak, Makalu II.
		It is a four-faced pyramid, with a secondary peak - Kangchungtse or Makalu II (7678 m) - separated from the main summit by a narrow saddle, known as Makalu La.

	English Makalu 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Makalu is one of the five highest mountains on the planet and as it is so far away from any frequented areas, earlier cartographers, at the beginning, simply named it withRoman number: XIII.
		The Makalu main ridges point towards the North-East (Chomo Lonzo, 7815m.), to the South-East (with a ramification to the West toward the Twins, 6490 m.) and to the North-West (Makalu pass, 7410 m.).
		Makalu is still among the most thought of climbs among the Himalayans, not only for the length of the trek necessary to reach its base, but also for difficult routes of ascent which demand a great deal of technical expertise from climbers at a very high altitude.

	The North Face - Makalu Expedition
		In November 1999, at sunset from the top of Gokyo ri in the Khumbu Region of Nepal, I could see a sea of Everest's, Lohtse's, Cho Oyu's peaks and in the distance another mountain was being blessed by the beauty of a winter sunset.
		My heart was beating in such incredible delight for the distant mountain named Makalu whose granite was shining gold and whose snow was gleaming with life.
		Makalu is one of the last great peaks where one starts hiking so low and far (120 km) from the objective making the climb even more desirable because of the time involved just to get to the mountain.

		The winds swept in fiercely across Makalu La and looking up to the summit of Makalu from there is impressive and intimidating.
		Below the Makalu La is the Makalu Glacier and the hard ice is like a skating rink with ripples in places which glared strongly in the sun.
