Chakragil
Due to its remote location, Chakragil is a little-visited peak. It was attempted by the noted mountaineering pair Eric Shipton and Bill Tilman in September, 1948. However they only reached a height of about 5,200 m (17,000 ft). On September 1, 1988, Japanese leader Misao Hirano, together with Minoru Hachisu and Kenji Nakayama, made the first ascent of the mountain. The peak was climbed again in 2000 by Mark Newcomb, alone, via the west ridge. The Himalayan Index lists no other ascents or attempts.
Names of peaks and ranges in this area are often uncertain. Chakragil is one of the peaks in the Kingata Shan, but it is unclear which of these peaks it should be identified with. For the purposes of this article (in particular the topographic prominence value), it is treated as identical with Kingata Tagh, the highest peak of the Kingata Shan. If this identification is incorrect (in particular, Chakragil may actually be Kingata Tagh II), it is unclear what peak(s) were climbed in 1988 and 2001, and it further uncertain as to whether Kingata Tagh has been climbed. A map of Central Asia published by Map Link shows a 6,760 metres (22,180 ft) mountain north of the Gez river which it calls 'Karabekter Tagh'. It shows Chakragil as a small lake to the southwest. The mountain is just north of the Karakorum Highway.
