Eventhough it has been climbed many times in the summer, it is a near impossible task in months before June. The snow is deep and it requires extreme mountaineering, climbing and alpine experience. It has been attempted several times for winter ascents but none have been successful.
Summers are beautiful in the area and the base camp can be set close to the summit and several attempts can be made.
