Publication Year: 1972.

Noshaq, Rakhe Deras, Karposhte Yakhi. Noshaq (24,580 feet) was climbed from the northwest by Fräulein Cilly Hayder (21) and Oswald Steinlechner (19) and later by me solo. Robert Oberarzbacher (19) and I climbed Rakhe Deras (18,668 feet) and Fräulein Hayder climbed Karposhte Yakhi (18,698 feet) solo. None were first ascents. Franz Oppurg also took part. We were able to prove that climbers of such young ages could climb at such altitudes. Our average age was only 22.
