This peak is situated in the nearby glaciers are Kaberi and Charakhusa.
Its height as 6,935m.It was in 1955 that members of Harvard Mountaineering
Club Karakoram expedition examined K-7 peak with a view to climbing
it. In 1976, an eight-member strong party of Fukuoka Climbing Club
expedition from Japan tried its luck on the peak. It, failed because
of shortage of time. In1977, the Japan Asia University Karakoram
expedition, led by Nobue Sakamoto, attempted the peak from its west
face through Charakhusa glacier but was unsuccessful. The party
consisted of 12 persons. Its climbing leader was Hiroshi Ishikawa.
In 1982, another Japanese party called Hosho expedition, led by
Masayoki Hoshina, attempted the peak again from Charakhusa glacier.
The six-member party could reach 6,096m. Again in 1984, an Australian
expedition of Roddy Mackenzie, which consisted of four persons,
tried its luck on this peak, but could not climb it.In the same
year the Japan Ski Alpine Club expedition of T. Nagata, which consisted
of eight persons, also tried to climb the peak. Three of its members
reached the top on the 8th August. Next day, the leader and two
other members also reached thepeak. Earlier, the party set up five
camps and a base camp on Charakhusa glacier.
