On February 26, 2016, it started from Camp 4 towards the summit as part of the first winter ascent of Nanga Parbat . While Simone Moro , Alex Txikon and Ali Sadpara were the first ever climbers to reach the summit of the 8,125-meter-high Nanga Parbat in winter, Lunger turned back around a hundred meters below the summit due to health problems.
