During the last few years, a route was climbed on the left side of the northeast face of Nirekha (6,159m), finishing at the southeast top (ca 6,100m, 27°58’36.21”N, 86°45’49.86”E). The climb was completed from the Khangri Nup Glacier in one day to give a 600m route of TD+. This ascent was further up the glacier and well to the right of the 2019 route on Peak 6,065m (AAJ 2020). Nirekha had almost certainly been climbed long before it was officially opened as a trekking peak in 2002, and was climbed by the west ridge the following year. However, its full history is uncertain.
