Publication Year: 1985.

Yakshin Gardan Sar, Third Ascent. A Japanese expedition led by Hiroshi Tateoka originally had permission for Rimo, but because of a border dispute, the authorities changed their objective. They approached from the Hispar Glacier over a col north of Khunyang Chhish North to the upper Yazghil Glacier. They then took more or less the same route as the other parties. The top was reached on July 25 by Masayuko Ando, Hiroshi Fujii and Hiroyuki Okamura and on July 26 by Toru Matsubara and Mamoru Asada.
