Climbing
editNama Peak was first climbed by a German couple in late April 2001.[2] Not long ago, it did not have an official name. Only in recent years, due to its relative ease and clear view of the 3,000 m high west face of Mt. Gongga,[3] the ascent has now become a popular destination for amateur climbers.[4] Climbing season is from April to June, and from September to November.[3]
From Chengdu (430 m altitude), the drive to Caoke Township (1,500 m) takes about five hours.[2] Subsequent rides and short hikes reach Lower Zimei village (3,500 m). A 7 km hike leads to base camp (4,200 m), from which it takes about two days to Nama peak. Summit attempts are usually made from Camp 1 (C1, 4,850 m), 4 km from base camp and 8 km to the summit.
Because of a 50 m long crevasse, climbing permits were temporarily put on hold in 2024.[4]
On 25 September 2025, a man fell to his death after having untied his safety rope while trying to take pictures.[5]
