Yukshin Gardan Sar
Yukshin Gardan Sar (Urdu: یکشن گردن سر) is a high peak in the Shimshal Valley, in the Karakoram range in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Its height is often given as 7,469 m (24,505 ft) or 7,641 m (25,069 ft). It lies about 16 km (10 mi) northeast of Khunyang Chhish and 6 km (3.75 mi) northwest of Kanjut Sar. It is flanked on the northwest by the Yazghil Glacier and on the northeast by the Yukshin Gardan Glacier; both drain into the Shimshal River. According to many residents of Shimshal, Yukshin Gardan Sar is the name of the adjacent peak Kanjut Sar, and vice versa. In Shimshal village, the original namings are widely accepted and used, as opposed to what is recognised internationally. Yukshin Gardan Sar was first climbed on June 26, 1984, by a Pakistani-Austrian group, led by Rudolf Wurzer. They ascended via the South Ridge, which they accessed via the Yazghil Glacier on the west side of the peak. The second ascent followed very shortly after the first, on July 23, 1984.
