HAGSHU 6330 M This shapely peak, which dominates the watershed with Zanskar has been the subject of numerous attempts since 1980. It was finally climbed in 1989 by a strong British team who took a good mountaineering line up the NE face. P. 6400 m at the eastern end of the range was attempted by a Scottish party in 1989 without success, but they did give it a name – Kishtwar Kailash. Not only is this the highest unclimbed peak in the range, but is also likely to be one of the hardest with no obvious route of ascent.
In the map you can see Chenab River, the first village of Atholi, then Machail and finally the Sumcham Village. After Sumcham, the area of Hagshu Nallah (gorge) starts. At the top of this gorge, the base camps and advance camps to set up for the summit attempt.
