A British Expedition led by Paul Farmer in September - October 2000 made an unsuccessful attempt. This 6 member British team attempted the peak in the Kedarganga valley in the post monsoon season. They had to turn back from 5,900 m due to too much unconsolidated snow.[3]

A six-member team of Walt Kaskel, Joseph Mazzotta, Dick Osborn, Dick Painter, Ron Rickman and Tony Lewis as leader began their two-day trek up the Kedar Ganga from Gangotri on May 30 and placed their Base Camp above the Kedar Tal lake, at 15,000 feet. they made Camp I at 17,500 feet on June 3, after climbing the right side of the icefall they established Camp II at 18,500 feet. On June 6, they left Camp II and through knee-deep snow they reached the summit.[4]
