Yermanendu Kangri is a mountain in the Masherbrum Mountains in the Karakoram. It is located just over 1 km east of Masherbrum. It is 7,163 m (23,501 ft) above sea level and has a prominence height of 163 m (535 ft). Due to the low prominence, it is often considered a sub-peak of Masherbrum.[2]
Climbing history
[edit]In 1981, Volker Stallbohm and Abdul Karim, during an attempt to climb the Masherbrum, reached the pass at 6,800 m (22,300 ft) between the Masherbrum and the Yermanendu Kangri, but could not find a route to mountain.[3]
It was first climbed in 2023 when Simon Messner and Martin Sieberer reached the summit on July 15, 2023. They faced bad weather and limited acclimatization on their attempt.[4]
