Trivor

Recording of Hispar Muztagh from the ISS with Trivor ( 2), Momhil Sar ( 1), Bularung Sar (3) and Distaghil Sar (5) and Hispar - (A), Gharesa ( B) Momhil - (C) and Kunyang - glacier (D).

Location

The Trivor is located in the west of Hispar Muztagh, north of the glacier tongue of Hispar glacier. The main ridge of the Karakoram runs from Momhil Sar ( 7343 m), the north-western neighbors, to the summit of Trivor and from there to the northeast over the Bularung Sar ( 7134 m) to Distaghil Sar, the highest 7,885 meters mountain of Hispar Muztagh.

To the north of the Momhil Glacier flows toward Shimshal Valley. To the east of Trivor and Bularung Sar the Kunyang Glacier flows south to Hispar Glacier. The Trivor Glacier ( also referred to as Gharesa Glacier ) flows west parallel to the valley of Hispar River. The two valleys are separated by the Gharesa - ridge that abuts the east by the Kunyang glacier and is connected in the north- east with the south ridge of Trivor.

Climbing history

The first ascent of the summit succeeded in a British -American expedition in 1960. The British expedition leader Wilfrid Noyce and Jack Sadler of Americans reached the summit on 17 August. The route led over the northwest, where they arrived from the south via the Trivor Glacier. Between the base camp on Trivorgletscher and the summit, the expedition team had built six high camp.

31 years later it came to so far only other climbing .. A Japanese team reached the saddle between the northwest and the southeast ridge of the Trivor Momhil Sar from the north via the Momhil glacier. While the conductor Toshifumi Onuki and Atsushi Endo reached the top of Trivor on the northwest on 30 August 1991, the team failed in the Sar Momhil to about 7,000 meters above sea level.
