The environment is nothing less than superlative with huge glaciers and beautiful icy peaks all around. The camp is placed on a narrow moraine on the east side of the glacier.

From the pass follow the glacier keeping care of some big crevasses. After 1 hour at about  5750 meters exit the glacier on the left and follow the endless moraine for about 4 hours. There is a good camping place at about 5100 meters and a better one at about 4950 meters.
