An amazing peak
At 12 O'clock is Changabang (22,520'). And that's the west ridge in front. That ridge has been described by Chris Bonnington as the most difficult in the Himalaya. It was climbed by two young, suicidally inclined, Englishmen in Ocotber 1976. Peter Boardman and Joe Tasker. Expectedly, their derring do, led em to their deaths on subsequent ventures.
At the left extreme is Dunagiri (23,184') which was first climbed by the Austrian Andre Roch in 1938. To the right of Changabang is a peak known as Kalank (21,880') or the Blot! Which it is compared to the beautiful Changabang.
