Commercial operator info:
MENTOK:- These are two lovely peaks on a long ridge running south from KORZOK village. In July and August the entire Korzok phulu valley is green with flowers giving the peak it’s name MENTOK; means flower in Ladakhi.

Mentok 1 requires some delicate climbing but Mentok 2 is fairly simple climb going up steep slopes.

Pictures from Rupshu incl. ascent of Lungser (6666m) and Menthoks also I believe

Commercial operator, nice photos of ascent of Chamser Kangri

Kang Yatze area

Summitpost route description:
"To normal route goes up the north side of the mountain, on the western ridge. Go up the moraine as high as possible, then traverse the snow slope diagonally towards the top ridge. Then follow this ridge to the fore summit (6200m). Most people turn around at this point as the main summit is quite technical. If you wish to continue, traverse the knife-edge up to the main summit (6400m). You'll need quite a bit of rock and ice protection to get to the main summit. Expect anywhere between 7h to 12h from basecamp to basecamp. An early start (2h am) is mandatory as the snow gets quite soft when the sun comes out. If you wish to start later, you should climb to the advance base camp at about 5400m."

 comment "We start very early as this will be a long day. First we gain the glacier half way up. Although this has been climbed without ropes previously, we may need to rope up, depending on conditions. "
