Siruanch Glacier 2001
The initial objective of this expedition was to make the first ascent of Tirsuli West, 7,035m, at the head of the Siruanch Glacier in the Kumaon, but reconnaissance failed to reveal a safe route on the intended North Face. Another peak some 5km N of Tirsuli proved more responsive, and its first ascent was achieved by the entire team via its South Face at Alpine D+. Approximately 6,160m high, it was subsequently named 'Shambhu Ka Qilla' (Shiva's Fortress).
