The Trishul (also Trisul ; Hindi : त्रिशूल , Triśūl ) is a 7120 m high mountain in the Garhwal region in India .
In 1907 a British-French expedition succeeded in climbing this mountain for the first time. This was the first ascent of a seven-thousander. During this ascent, an attempt was made for the first time to use additional oxygen as a climbing aid. However, it could not be determined whether the oxygen that was carried along was also helpful. After the expedition, it took 21 years to reach a higher peak.
Today the Trishul is one of the most climbed seven-thousanders because it is relatively easy to reach.
Minor peaks
The Trishul has two secondary peaks. The Trishul II has a height of 6690 m , the Trishul III a height of 6007 m . Both peaks could be climbed for the first time in 1960.
