It is still fascinating to see the pics and movies which I made on the summit. Heavy snow storm and too less oxygen is quite not the best condition to handle with thick gloves on the technics of cameras.
A climbers day is gone very fast, also because you have to leave the summit early to reach the base camp not too late in the night.
I still enjoy the impressions and the photos ....

First ascent of the north summit
I ascended the north summit of Toze Kangri, which is quite likely the highest of the massif, even though the measurements of the summits are within error bars.
I was very unfortunate to miss out on the south due to a uncontrollable diarrhea, so I only made it to the top of a big, broad summit at 6100 meters (prominence 40-60 meters, really just a ridge leading up to the south summit).
The summit climb was very straightforward, and although the weather was very variable and there were deep snow, there were no problems.
