Description

Nun-Kun is a non-volcanic massif in the Greater Himalaya of northern India, with Nun at 7,135 m as its highest summit. Wikidata identifies this entity as a massif rather than the individual Nun peak. Nun and Kun rise above the Suru Valley region; sources report Kun at approximately 7,077–7,087 m. Nun’s western approach from Tangol differs from the Shafat approach to Kun. These glaciated routes require technical climbing skills and acclimatization; expedition accounts document storm delays and crevasse hazards.

Routes

Kun — Shafat, plateau tinggi, dan punggungan timur

Pendakian teknis gletser, spur, dan punggungan bersalju

Ekspedisi multi-hari dengan waktu tunggu cuaca

Schauer’s account follows Shafat Glacier to a spur, then crosses the plateau to Kun’s eastern ridge. The team avoided dangerous ice and waited out a storm before summiting. This documents a historical climbing line, not a traverse from Nun’s summit or an ordinary trekking route.

Nun — punggungan barat melalui Tangol dan Sentik

Pendakian teknis gletser dan es di atas 7.000 m

Ekspedisi multi-minggu; bergantung aklimatisasi dan cuaca

The western approach links Tangol, Sentik Valley, and western Kangriz Glacier to Nun’s ridge. It differs from the first expedition’s approach through Kishtwar. The 2017 account records camps and a storm retreat; historical conditions are not current navigation guidance.

Climbing Experiences

This collection combines Nun videos with three firsthand Himalayan Journal expedition accounts. The written reports distinguish Nun’s western access from the Shafat approach to Kun and describe bad weather, crevasses, and retreat decisions. Historical accounts record conditions encountered at the time and do not establish current route conditions.
