01 — The Mountain
The hidden pyramid.
Baruntse is a symmetrical snow pyramid wedged between the Barun and Hunku glacier systems, climbed by relatively few parties each season.
Its south-east ridge is a classic: steep snow flutings, a knife-edge upper section and a summit that looks directly across at Lhotse's south face.
