Sen Tenzing and Jimmy Roberts made the first successful ascent to the summit of Mera Peak on 20 May 1953. The route that they used is still the standard route. Mera has 3 summits and the highest one is our priority. The easier one attempted by most groups is accessed by taking a higher line to the eastern summit with its steep last 20 m or so. The true summit can either be reached by a drop and traverse, beyond many people by this stage or by initially taking a more westerly lower line out of the high camp for a steep haul to the true summit.
