This is the most technical part of the climb, taking 5 - 7 hours and utilising 1,000m of fixed rope to reach camp 2. From camp 2 to camp 3 we rope up and cross a huge snow plateau, whichseparates Nun and Kun, to set up camp at the base of the summit ridge.

From the summit, we descend the same way and return to camp 2, before descending to base camp the following day
