By walk Today the trail moves towards the glacier from which Sian gad originates and the glacier starts from Kalanag. Don't go on to the glacier. Keep moving towards the ridge. The pass is just to the right of the yellow tooth. The main challenge is below the pass, in climbing up the slabs. In case snow is there it may be easier. There is hardly any place on the top as the ridge is quite narrow. Move down on the other side, keeping to the right. Watch for crevasses. Continue down to reach the camping place just beside the glacier and big crevasses. Stay in tents.
