Climbing history

The Numbur was first climbed on May 29, 1963 by Hiroshi Matsuo and Mingma Tserin, participants of a Japanese expedition, from the south face.[2][3]

In October 1981 a French expedition succeeded in the alleged first ascent of Numbur from the southwest ridge. Jean-Pierre Henry, Christian Rathat and Mingma Sherpa reached the summit on October 14, Eric Laroche, Jean-François Le Quang and Philippe Veyrac followed on October 17.[4]
