The Pungpa Ri is a 7445 m (according to other information 7486 m ) high peak in the Himalayan mountain range Jugal Himal in the south of Tibet ( People's Republic of China ).
The Pungpa Ri is due to a notch height of only 145 m as a secondary peak of the eight-thousander Shishapangma and not as an independent mountain. It is located 2.45 km southeast of the main summit of Shishapangma, with which it is connected by a mountain ridge.
Ascent history
A British expedition ( Douglas Scott , Alex MacIntyre and Roger Baxter-Jones ) succeeded on May 19, 1982, the first ascent of Pungpa Ri over the southwest face. As part of an attempt to climb Shishapangma, another British expedition ( Stephen Venables and Luke Hughes) managed to climb the summit for the second time on October 25, 1987 . On October 28th, two other expedition members, Nigel Williams and John Vlasto, reached the summit.
