The peak, which lies due south of the
Tesi Lapcha, is unnamed on the Schneider
Rolwaling Himal map, but is given a spot
height of 6,273 metres (20,581ft). The
Mandala Lamasangu to Everest map calls
the peak Parchoma, which is quite
possibly a spelling mistake. Both
Shipton's and Gregory's expedition
surveys gave the peak an altitude close
to 6,318 metres (20,700ft).
Seen from the pass the mountain is an
attractive but straightforward snow peak
with a well defined north by north west
ridge rising from the relatively flat,
crevassed glacier astride the Tesi
Lapcha. To the west of the ridge the
face forms a uniform snow slope broken
by crevasses and small seracs rising
from the rocky lower buttresses above
the Drolambau Glacier.
Parchamo peak has become a derigueur
climb for trekkers crossing the high
Tasi Lapcha (5,755m/18,875ft) to Namche
Bazaar in the Everest area. The peak can
be combined with the more demanding
Ramdung Go peak combined with the trek
over the Tesi Lapcha in about 25 days or
so.
