Polish alpinist Adam Bielecki, German climber Felix Berg, and Italian mountaineer Hervé Barmasse have opened a new route on Numbur (6,958 m) in Nepal’s Rolwaling Himal.

On October 18–19, the trio successfully climbed the South Face of the mountain, establishing a new line they named “Nepali Ice SPA” graded ED- (WI5, M4, 950m). The route follows sections of a previous Catalan attempt before venturing into new and steeper terrain leading directly to the summit.

The climb demanded technical precision on steep ice and mixed wall. The team bivouacked in what they called the “Devil’s Suite” at around 6,900 metres, according to the Instagram post by Felix Berg.
