“
technically easy but if there get heavy snowfall then it is not that safe from avalanche. In autumn 2010, the avalanche swept away route fixing team twice and nobody reach the summit.


”

Difficulty Easiest of the 14 non technical climbing, large snow field, long distance. An excellent mountain for climbers wanting to scale their first 8,000m peak without taking much risk.
