Climbing History

The first ascent was made in 1971 on the North face by an Indian expedition.^[2][3] The second ascent (first via NE face) was completed in 1984 by a team from Siliguri under the leadership of Durjoy Ghosh, which put four climbers and two Sherpas on the top in inclement weather conditions.^[3] A British team attempted an ascent of the south ridge in 1989, but turned back 400 feet (120 m) from the summit due to weather.^[5]
