At A
Glance
From Shiptons, you skirt the high peaks to the east in the counter
clockwise direction, bypassing Kami and Two-tarn huts as you marvel at
the splendid view of the rocky towers, tarns and suspended glaciers of
the west face of Batian peak to attempt the summit from Mackinders camp
in the Teleki valley and eventually returning back on the Sirimon route
