Singu Chuli (6501m) was formerly known as the Fluted peak the
first ascent to this peak was made by Wilf Noyce and David
Cox by its North-East face and top section of the
east ridge,
This mountain has proven to be very difficult to climb for
most commercial climbing groups who have tried to
concentrate on
Test
Peak.
SIngu Chuli is the first summit on the long ridge thrown down
from Tarke Kang (Glacier Dome), which separates the south
and west Annapurna Glaciers. Annapurna South base camp
provides the best distant view of the mountain. Till date,
apart from the original route, most efforts to climb this
mountain have concentrated on the face and ridges seen
from this view point. The south-West ridge of the mountain
connects with the tent peak. The terrain between the two
mountains is a confusing one and the ridge is not
straight.
