Because of its remote location, tourists do not often attempt to climb it, although the Goecha La pass does approach its massive southern face. Its massif is buttressed by four ridges, with names including the Zemu and the Talung. Along with the Yalung and a namesake ridge, these structures contain peaks that form an "X." Its name translates as "Treasuries of the Great Snow" and it was first mapped by Rinzin Namgyal. It was first climbed in 1955 by Charles Evans, who stopped a few feet short of the summit to honor the traditions of the region of Sikkim.  FTP, name this mountain, located between Nepal and India, the third-highest in the world.
