The towers above these ascents remain foranother generation of climbers.” These are the words said by John Mock when the area was closed till 2000 due to Pak-India conflict over Siachan Glacier. Since its re-opening, the company has been successfully organizing groups for this area. The area is clustered in numerous peaks Sherpi Kangri , 7100m Sherpi Kangri II , besides many other pinnacles.
