Itinerary description

This is the trail of the summit day, starting from the high camp at 5800 m. There is also the subsequent descent on the Hunku side, to Kongma Dingma, which is the starting point for the crossing of the Amphu Lapcha.
On a trail developing entirely on a glacier, it makes no sense to mark precise waypoints, so I associated them mostly with the supplied photos.
It is typical to leave the high camp at 3 am, in order to be on the summit before some change of the weather. For example, during the afternoon, all the way down to Kongma Dingma we were in clouds.
