From Nepali Times - 30 May 2003

While the attention has been focused on Everest in the past week, an all-Nepali expedition scaled the top of the unclimbed Pharilapcha (6017m) in Khumbu. Recently opened by the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) to commemorate the Everest Golden Jubilee Celebrations, Dinesh Deokota was the first man on the summit on 19 May. Teammate Pramod "Goofy" Shrestha's maiden attempt was aborted due to technical problems but he made it to the top the following day. Both amateur climbers, Deokota and Shrestha showed great skill on what turned out to be a technically demanding climb up a final 80m vertical rock face. From high camp Deokota battled extreme conditions for 17 hours before reaching the peak. It took the team four days to lay fixed ropes and determine a route, and the two dedicated the climb to their spouses and planted a Tibetan prayer flag at the summit for peace in Nepal. They were supported by Ongchu Sherpa, Namgyal Sherpa and Lhakpa Sherpa.
