The Nepal government is said to be considering opening Machapuchare, considered one of Nepal's most sacred peaks, for climbing. Machapuchare, aka fishtail peak, is regarded as a holy mountain by the people of Nepal. The mountain has been closed since 1957, when a British expedition led by Jimmy Roberts stopped about 500 feet below the Summit. The mountain is said to be approx 6696 meters high.
