Ian Parnell and John Varco from the USA (September-October 2004)
The original aim of this team was to climb a new route on Kalanka and then a new extremely committing route on the S Face of Changabang (6864m). However, on hearing of a number of other expeditions to the area, they changed their objective to Saf Minal (6911m). On this they were successful in making the first ascent of its N Ridge and NW Face in a 10 day round trip - possibly the second overall ascent of the peak.
