Congratulations for the successful team.I would like to add that in August,2007,we climbed an unclimbed peak in shimshal shujrab(Dest in wakhi native language).with Japanese climber Takasaki and we named the peak also in native language called Showort Sar 6200meter.The Expedition was also organized by Nazir Sabir.please for more information and correct the name and high highltiute from Takasaki from Japan alpine club.

There should not be confusion about the name and peaks. Because some are unclimbed but some are already climbed and named,remember that should not be repeated.

Regards,

Congratulation for successful attempt and exploring the new peak. please make sure all the peaks have name in Shimshal in the native language but several names have been changed by the climbers and other travelers for example Advere sar is change in to White horn and Destughel is miss pronounced Dartegir. this is really shocking for the native people. pleas consult people form shimshal and the areas you are visiting.Do not change the original name of the newly climbed peak. Please let me know the location the peak was climbed i will let you know the local name of the peak.
