Trek Overview

This unnamed peak appears to be at or close to 6000 m based on the contour maps I've seen of the region.  Climb the ridge to the south of Nimaling and opposite Kang Yatze, initially the ridge is very broad as you get higher it narrows.  You may have to climb down and around some steep snow/ice fields to reach the peak.  The last bit to the peak is a steep climb up boulder sized scree to the summit.

Very nice views from the top of this peak across at Kang Yaze and across the glacier covered landscape below. It can also be climbed without a tent or anything more than a trekking pole and a day pack making it a very cheap and easy way to climb to 6000 m.
