Everest Region Kusum Kanguru Expedition Altitude 6369m.
Kristine & I did try to summit climb of Kusum Kanguru. But some reason we didn't went to summit. I really want to come back to climb this mountain in future.

Kusum Kanguru, 6,369 meters, dominating the southern end of Charpati Himal separates the valley of the Dudh Koshi from the upper reaches of Hinku Drangka. This peak is a complex triple summited mountain having at least five major ridges and faces. The north face of the main summit is the most spectacular one. The name Kusum Kanguru comes from Tibetan meaning - Three Snow Peaks..
This peak is one of the most difficult trekking peaks to climb and was first ascended in the autumn of 1979 by a Japanese team.
