A Mountaineering Expedition Team comprising six members of the Indian Army and eight from Kazakhstan Army successfully scaled Marble Wall Peak, a technically challenging and difficult peak in Kazakhstan.
The expedition jointly led by Lt Col SS Shekhawat and Mr Ilinski. The team reached Base Camp on 23 Aug 09 at 3300 meters and established three camps on the mountain by 27 Aug. On 03 Sep , the summit team left for Camp – III, located at a height of 5200 meters, and after nearly 11 hours of grueling climb finally summitted the peak on 04 Sep . The summit was a great challenge, as continuous inclement weather during the ascent and alpine climbing used by the teams (not being practiced in India during expeditions) further increased the degree of difficulty.
There has not been any Indian expedition to Marble Wall Peak before this. The Indian Army has undertaken the first joint Indi-Kazakh Army expedition to the mountain in Kazakhstan, a Central Asian Region Country and summitted it, in consonance with its unfettered spirit of scaling at challenging peaks of the world.
