Spangnak (6150m)

Took a few friends through the rarely explored Spangnak trail and along the way also climbed the Spangnak mountain. It’s a straightforward ascent; the only challenge being the long approach to the top. A few pics to reminisce the trip. 

Kyagar Tso – Spangnak Base is about a four hour hike from here.

A mutt at our base camp. Total nuisance but very photogenic.
