Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park

MJM climbing in Asia

My first climbing area is Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. The climbing was ok. Limestone with vegetation in spots with grades of 5.6 to 5.11. This is a Nepal Military zone but this did not effect the climbing area.

I out climbed my guide Dorji Sherpa (he's done Everest 3X & Lhotse). I led all routes with my guide top roping all the routes I led.

I would like to thank Dorji Sherpa for his assistance & kindness on my Nepal trip! He was very helpful.

If you climb in the summer months you will encounter leeches.
