I climbed it with my 12 year old son. We went straight up from the car park in the South West quadrant. He was like a mountain goat and just kept heading for the highest point that could be seen. There were two dead sheep, fog, high winds, and rain. These were all interspersed with sunshine and warmth. My first view of "Wild Cat" island was from the slopes of Kanchunjunga. It was a moment I'll always remember.
Have a great time!
