Climbing History

The first ascent was made in 1971 on the North face by an Indian expedition. The second ascent 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. A British team attempted an ascent of the south ridge in 1989, but turned back from the summit due to weather.
