Mera Peak, located in the remote mountains of Nepal, is a majestic trekking peak that is relatively easy to climb, but there are a few challenges that need to be overcome before reaching the summit. Initially, this peak was classified as an ‘F’ grade climb, which is considered a relatively easy climb. In recent years, however, this peak has been upgraded to an ‘Alpine Grade PD’ climb, mainly due to the recent changes in the location of the glaciers and the extremely difficult final section. There are tricky sections of the climb that require you to traverse through glaciers, and some steep trails require the use of ice axes and fixed ropes, as well as crampons, to reach the summit. The summit is at an elevation of 6467 m, and depending on the climate, you will need to ascend 5 degrees by fixed rope and ascender to get to the summit.
This is why it is considered the best training ground for the 8,000-meter climb.
