The Trishul (also Trisul; Hindi: त्रिशूल, Trisul ) is a 7120 m high mountain in the Garhwal region of India.
In 1907 an Anglo-French expedition succeeded in the first ascent of this mountain. This was the first ascent of a mountain with an altitude of over 7,000 m. In this ascent also the first time an attempt was made to use supplemental oxygen as a climbing aid. But whether the entrained oxygen was also a help, could not be found. After the expedition, it took 21 years until a higher peak could be achieved.
Today is one of the most climbed Trishul own seven thousand, since it is relatively easy to achieve.
