Though the climb is technically challenging there are many possible routes that may be explored. Technically, the difficulty of the climb is comparable to any classical route of the French Alps, like Mont Blanc' normal route for example. Putha Hiunchuli's south slopes present easy access to the different summit's base camps but the ascents route is technically difficult due to the many ridges and seracs. The route on the north slope was rediscovered four years back, which crosses extremely remote and wild terrain.
