Gyachung Kang

Gyachung Kang (Nepali: Gyachung Kng; Chinese: Gézhngkng Fng) is the highest mountain in the Mahalangur Himal portion of the Himalayas, and is the highest peak between Cho Oyu (8,201 m) and Mount Everest (8,848 m). It is located on the Nepal-China border. It is the world's fifteenth-highest mountain, as well as the tallest peak that is not over 8,000 meters tall; as a result, it is significantly less well-known than the lowest of the eight-thousanders, which are only around 100 meters higher. The lack of prominence (700 m) of the summit also contributes to its relative obscurity.

Y. Kato, K. Sakaizawa, and Pasang Phutar were the first to summit the mountain on April 10, 1964, followed by K. Machida and K. Yasuhisa the next day.

A Slovene expedition climbed the north face for the first time in 1999, and Yasushi Yamanoi repeated the feat in 2002.
