Summary, etc. thousand metre peak. Isolated from both the Karakoram peaks to the north and from<br/>the Himalayas (to which, geologically, it belongs) to the east, Nanga Parbat stands<br/>alone, reflecting the likely derivation o f its name from the Sanskrit Nanga Paravat,<br/>“naked mountain”. Rising from the gorge o f the Indus river its Rupal face forms the<br/>greatest vertical interval from valley floor to summit in the world. The earliest true<br/>attempt to climb it was in 1895 when Albert Mummery, with Geoffrey Hastings and J.<br/>Norman Collie first made a recoimaissance o f the huge Rupal Face, which they<br/>thought un-climbable. They then crossed the Mazeno Pass and prospected the Diamir<br/>Face. Holding the opinion that the Diamir Face looked more promising. Mummery<br/>explored a feature now known as the “Mummery Rib” with two Ghurkhas (Ragobir<br/>and Goman Singh), who had arrived with Major Charles Bruce to offer support to the<br/>other three men. Mummery’s team was forced to turn back at 6100 m. Mummery felt<br/>that one more long day would have been sufficient for them to force a route to the<br/>summit, which perhaps showed that he did not truly appreciate what they were up<br/>against, but then again perhaps reflected his positive attitude and optimism.<br/>Mummery and his two Ghurkhas then set o ff to cross the Diama pass and were never<br/>seen again. The first ascent was achieved by Herman Buhl in 1953. Since then most<br/>o f the ridges and faces have been climbed however the Mazeno or west ridge, has<br/>been such a formidable undertaking that it has remained unclimbed in its entirety
