Dunagiri, Himalayan summit in Joshimath Tehsil, India
Dunagiri reaches 7,066 meters in elevation and forms part of the Sanctuary Wall, a ring of peaks surrounding the Nanda Devi mountain range.
The first successful climb of Dunagiri occurred on July 5, 1939, when Swiss mountaineers Andre Roch, F Steuri, and D Zogg reached the summit via southwest ridge.
According to the Ramayana, Hanuman carried the entire Dunagiri mountain to bring Sanjeevani herbs needed to save the wounded Lakshmana in battle.
Mountaineers access Dunagiri through Lata Kharak base camp, with optimal climbing conditions occurring between May to June and September to October.
The 1975 southeast buttress ascent by Joe Tasker and Dick Renshaw established new standards for alpine climbing techniques in the Himalayas.
