We will be weak up early at noon and have breakfast before we start to climb. It is essential to reach the summit before noon because the strong wind in the afternoon would be a barrier to a successful summit.

The trail ascends beyond the base camp for four hundred meters before striking off the steep roof. The sandy path starts and turns to the grass to the boulder-strewn. Once we ascend the hill, then slight slope, then the trail enters a steep rock ridgeline from where starts an exhilarating and exposed traverse of the summit.

Your guide will fix the rope when it needs. A steep snow slope, about a 400-meter trail, takes a long time, but it depends on the snow season and crevasse. We cross the three to four-meter chasms using a ladder to reach the successful summit.
