Annapurna Region Peak
Hiunchuli
Hiunchuli, at a height of 6,441 meters, forms a massive south-facing wall
together with Annapurna South. Its eastern face overlooks the Modi Khola and
guards the entrance to the Annapurna Sanctuary. An American Peace Corps
Expedition, via the southeast face, first climbed Hiunchuli in October 1971.
The mountain is not technically difficult to climb but is vulnerable to rock
falls, and route finding may also be a problem. Even though it offers major
new route potentials, it has received little attention from mountaineers and
is rarely climbed.
