Circuit Wall

Circuit Wall stretches across three distinct faces along a 2km section of the Annapurna Circuit trail, making it a unique venue where the approach itself is part of the experience. As trekkers pass by, climbers are visible on the walls above — a living example of the coexistence of adventure sports at altitude. Each face has been developed separately by different KSCC guide teams over three seasons, giving the venue its distinctive multi-character feel. The Lower Face is the most accessible with grades in the 5c–6b range; the Middle Face where most of the action is concentrated between 6c and 7b; and the Upper Face where a short scramble leads to the circuit's most committing single-pitch climbing at 7b+–7c. Acclimatisation is built naturally into multi-day schedules here — you gain altitude gradually and the climbing responds as your body adjusts.
