 | | Although Shishapangma is considered to be one of the easier 8000 metre peaks, there are hazards present, and members must have experience in roped rock and ice climbing techniques (to protect from falling down the mountain or into crevasses), and have winter-condition climbing experience in the greater ranges of the world. |
 | | We walk along the lateral moraine of the Shishapangma Glacier, and at 5800 metres, we cross the Shishapangma glacier in a flat area with many serac formations. |
