Fantastic!There's an unclimbed ridge on this peak I've been meaning to attempt for a long time. Hopefully next summer!

Re: Fantastic!Mountain is said to be already climbed, however local villagers, porters and guides claim none of the expeditions made it to the summit yet and it is still unclimbed.

Re: Fantastic!The peak definately got climbed by some Germans in 1991. The route took I think is visible in this photo. They climbed from the East Kukuar (Kukuay) Glacier to a col left of the summit, then climbed the NW Ridge. There is a fantastic looking ridge on the Batura side that I might try in 2008 as think I will be in that general area.

Re: Fantastic!I know about German expedition, but villagers (including Shahid Alam Nagari from Bar - I recommend this porter, who worked with expeditions) claims, they did not made it to the summit. But it may not be true as well. Who cares... ? :) ha ha
PS. What are Your plans / aims in this region ?

Re: Fantastic!Primarily some peaks I saw in 2006 on the southern side of the Lupgar Mountans.

Re: Fantastic!The confusion arises because the Germans reported that they stopped a few metres from the very top due to an unstable cornice. Mabye 5m or something? So they didn't stand right on top, but basically they climbed it.
