Mount Frey (also known as Frey Peak) is a mountain peak location at 5,889 m (19,321 ft) in northwest of Sikkim, India.[1]

Location

[edit]

This summit of the Frey Peak is located in the neighborhood of Rathong, Kabru, and Kotkhang. On its north, Rathong Glacier is located.[2]

This mountain is named after the mountaineer George Frey, who perished climbing this peak with Tenzing Norgey in 1951. Tenzing Norgey advised George Frey to put on his crampons, but George Frey disregarded this advice and continued climbing without them. As a tribute to George Frey, his ice axe and crampons are still left where they fell at the base of Frey Peak.[3]

Climbing history

[edit]

In 1990, the peak was opened for the purpose of climbing.[citation needed]
