The first ascent of Shiva was achieved in 1973 by a Japanese expedition ( Noritoshi Kato , Toshiki Takeuchi and Manhyal Sherpa) over the south ridge.
On August 19, 1975, a second Japanese expedition (Takaharu Suzuki, Yoshinori Yatsu, Yoshifumi Ogino, Koyo Kawasaki and Hiroaki Kaneda) managed to climb the mountain over the southwest ridge.
In 1988 an all-female mountaineering group from Japan reached the summit via the west ridge.
On October 11, 2012, Mick Fowler and Paul Ramsden climbed the Shiva over the northeast pillar ( North-east buttress ), which they simply baptized "Bug des Shiva" ( Prow of Shiva ). For this achievement the two climbers received the Piolet d'Or award .
