Summary

This unclimbed peak near Chaukhamba I was attempted by the British-New Zealand team. They were climbing in the post monsoon season. Following the southwest ridge they reached the height of 6400 m on 10th November. However at that point, heavy snowfall of early winter caught them unawares and they had to retreat.
