About
Kang Yatse I lies in the Zanskar Himalaya in the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, just south of Leh. It is the highest point of the Kang Yatse group of glaciated peaks with its icy summit perched in thin air at 6401m (21,000 ft).
Kang Yatse I is located at the end of the beautiful Markha Valley within Hemis National Park, a regionally popular trekking destination. Larger map here. |
the climb
This expedition style climb ascends the northeast ridge which requires technical scrambling across scree slopes to reach the glaciated ridges. This is followed by a careful ascent through highly featured glacier terrain, leading to a steep icy head-wall to the summit. This expedition will take place in August 2023.
