The north face of Kangchenjunga showing the route taken by Doug Scott, Peter Boardman, and Joe Tasker in 1979.The route is marked per the drawing in Boardman's book Sacred Summits.

Great

Voted 10/10

These are my favorite type of pictures on SP. Actually seeing the route and the camps make it so much more real. Kudos

My team and i are working on putting together a trip plan to attempt this peak within the next few years. Do you know of anyone who has it on their list or has already summited it?
