Disteghil Sar 1957
The objective of this expedition was to make a reconnaisance of Disteghil Sar (7885m). After establishing a basecamp on the Kunyang Glacier under the mountain's south face, patient reconnaisance revealed a route to a col west of the mountain's summit. Despite a lack of porters and persistently poor conditions with a high risk of avalanche, the team succeeded in climbing to just shy of 6700m, before abandoning the attempt in the face of yet more snow.
