I reached the top of the Tashi (Tesi) Lapcha pass (5755m) after a grueling 90 minute ascent on the steep snow slope. Takargo (Dragker-Go, 6793m) shone in the mid-day sun in the view west from the Tashi (Tesi) Lapcha pass, with the rest of my crew still struggling upwards. Takargo was opened for climbing in 2003.
