Climbing history
In American Alpine Club's journal published in 1970 volume 17 issue 1, the first recorded climb of Lampak South (20,750 feet) was on September 21 by Mountain Lovers Association led by Prasanta Chakraborty. The summit climbers were Milan Sen Gupta, Pranesh Chaudhury and Sherpas Pasang Tsering, Nima Dorje and Ang Chhutar. On September 6 they established their Base Camp at 15,500 feet and on the 11th Camp II. From Camp II they climbed an icefall and tried to open the route to a saddle in between Lampak South and an unnamed peak (21,340 feet). This route had to be abandoned after three attempts on it. On September 20 Camp III was established following a reconnaissance of the southwest ridge just below the towering spur. The next morning they climbed the spur, traversed the ice wall and reached summit through the southwest ridge.
