Manaslu Expedition (8,163m)
Manaslu (8156m) was first climbed in 1956 by a Japanese expedition. Its name comes from the Sanskrit word manasa, meaning "intellect" or "soul" It is the same root word as that for Manasarover, the holy lake near Mt. Kailash in Tibet. Just as the British considered Everest their mountain. Manaslu has always been a Japanese mountain.
HW Tillman and Jimmy Roberts photographed Manaslu during a trek in 1950 and the first real survey of the peak was made by a Japanese expedition in 1952.
