06/11 - Miyar Nala 2006
Oliver Metherell with Jeremy Frimer from Canada and Michel van der Spek from Holland plus Sarah Hart in support (September 2006)
Although the original objectives of this team were above the Jangpar valley, stomach problems persuaded them to seek an area with (hopefully) ‘safer’ water. They moved south to the Dali valley from which they made the first ascent of Goya Peak (5230m) via its 600m north ridge (Alpine grade D-, French 5C). They also attempted the first ascent of Gateway Ridge leading to the summit ridge of a rock peak (c5650m) near Dali, on which they reached 5600m with some simul-climbing but also pitches up to 5.9 (HVS).
