Climbing History
The first attempt to climb Pumari-Kish was made in 1974 by an Austrian expedition along the northern wall from the Yazgil glacier, but was unsuccessful.
In 1979, the Japanese expedition by the Hokkaido Climber Association, having started ascent from the Kuniang Glacier far to the west of the summit and traveled a long way, was successful. The expedition was also the first to pass a high pass to get to the upper reaches of the Yazgil glacier, from where it reached the beginning of the peak's northern ridge.
According to the Himalayan Journal , no further successful ascents to Pumari Kish have been recorded.
Conquering the Southern Peak
A kilometer southeast of the main peak is Pumari-Kish South (7350 m) [2] . After two unsuccessful attempts to climb the peak in 1999 and 2000 by Julia-Anna Klima and Roger Payne, on June 12, 2007 the peak was conquered by Yannick Graziani and Christian Trommsdorf. Climbing with a drop of 2700 meters was very difficult technically and completed in a pure alpine style in six days.
