Climbing history

A group of Slovenian comprising Urban Golob, Boris Lorencic, Karel Zavrsnik and Matija Jost, reached Milam Glacier. Before attempting Hardeol they climbed Ikualari and Nital Thaur to acclimatize them self. They established two camps, first one at 4,600m on the upper glacier and second at 5,200m on the southwest ridge. On October 3 they reached the summit in three hours climbing from the second camp.[2] They repeated the same route which was done by the only previous ascent of this peak which was made by a team from Mumbai University in 1968 led by Prof. Chandekar.[3]
