Kunyang or Khunyang Chhish East is a 7,400 metres (24,300 ft) mountain in the Khunyang Chhish massif (a subrange of the Karakoram mountains of Pakistan). It is separated by a 7,160 metres (23,490 ft) pass from the main summit 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to the West and has a 2,700 metres (8,900 ft) Southwest face. On July 18, 2013 Hansjörg Auer, Matthias Auer and Simon Anthamatten made the first ascent over this wall,[2] which had been widely regarded as one of the great remaining problems in alpinism.[3]
