05/16 - 2005 British Habuqung Shan
Dr Derek Buckle with Alasdair Scott, Martin Scott & Dr Bill Thurston (September-October 2005)
The Habuqung Shan mountain range lies west of Lhasa and north of Sangsang, and is believed to contain 16 peaks over 6000m, the highest being Dobzebo. Although British climbers visited an area a little to the north in 2002, it is thought that no climbing has ever taken place in the range. This team explored the area, and made the first ascent of Dobzebo North (6412m) via its South Face and of Dobzebo South-West summit (6429m) via its SW Ridge, experiencing no technical difficulties on either.
