Navarro Miguel Zabalza and Guipuzcoano Mikel Sáez de Urabain are the first to climb the Jugal II summit in Nepal
Mount Jugal II has long been regarded as a technically hard mountain, and so far no mountaineer has reached its peak.
The three climbers have for the first time climbed Mount Jugal II, 6,518 metres high, in Sindhupalchowk district, near Nepal's border with China, local authorities have confirmed.
Milan Tamang, chairman of the tourism committee of the rural municipality of Jugal, states that Navarro Miguel Zabalza Azcona, Riojano Rubén Pérez Blázquez and Mikel Sáez de Urabain Gabilondo gipuzkoano reached their summit on Saturday.
This achievement is expected to place Jugal II on the international map of mountaineering and create new opportunities for mountain tourism in Nepal, Tamang said.
Jugal II has long been regarded as a technically very hard mountain, and so far not a single climber has reached its peak.
On April 11, 2023, the Nepalese government officially opened the summit to climbing.
