Description

Mentok Kangri rises west of Lake Tso Moriri in the Rupshu region of Ladakh, India. The linked Wikidata profile records 6,270 m and points to the article on Mentok Kangri I. The name also covers neighbouring summits; expedition sources often describe Mentok II at around 6,210–6,250 m, so summit names and elevations need to be read in their source context. Approaches start at Korzok or combine the climb with the Rumtse–Tso Moriri trek. Field accounts describe crampons, ropes, poor snow and altitude symptoms; the trekking-peak label does not imply consistently simple terrain.

Potala’s programme goes from Rumtse through Tso Kar to Korzok Phu and a Mentok camp around 5,300 m. A preparation day precedes the Mentok II attempt across boulders, snow slopes, an inter-summit col and a ridge. The schedule includes Yalung Nong and a contingency day.

Korzok–kamp satu hari; puncak dan turun hari berikutnya dalam catatan penulis

Marolt left Korzok and camped around 5,400 m. He records a summit departure around 03:00, crampons on the steep section and a return to the village that evening. Altitude symptoms affected the team; this describes his journey, not an acclimatisation plan.

Climbing Experiences

Mentok Kangri climbing videos complement Uroš Marolt’s firsthand account of the approach from Korzok, high camp, crampon use and a companion abandoning the summit attempt with altitude symptoms. Some expeditions combine the Rumtse–Tso Moriri trek with Mentok II. Names and reported elevations for Mentok I and II vary between sources.
