"To date there have only been five ascents from the south"
There has been more than one repeat of the Schell, plus the Koreans repeated the Messner route in 2005 just before Anderson/House did their route. I'd say it's at least eight ?

Should update the story facts. MAzeno Ridge was completed last year by Rick Allen and Sandy Allan. Scottish/English team. Took them 11 days i think and some members of the team turned back due to cold weather. Rick and Sandy kept going though and made it to the top via the ridge.
On February 27 2016 Alex Txikon, Ali Sadpara and Simone Moro successfully made the first winter ascent on the Nanga. A fourth member, Tamara Lunger, stopped just few feets below the summit.
They climbed by the Kinshofer routte on the Diamir side.
I think this is about the year 2000 expedition which was on the North-West Face and even Messner was not the first there:
I'd call it 'Diama Route' after the Diama Glacier (not to confuse with Diamir which is next to it). Mummery disappeared on the Diama Glacier trying to reach the Ganalo Pass.
There were at least two previous expeditions on that route.
Wörgötter stated to us that they had been on around 7400m when they turned on the face below the north summit.
We (Clara and me) reached 7760m on that route in 2008 using ski. Messner didn't provide any information to us and local people say that he had never been over 6000m on that route. We couldn't find any pictures from Messners expedition which were made from the ground on higher altitude.
Later Eisendle wrote to me that they didn't look at the altimeter when they turned.
This route was finished by a Polish/French team in winter 2018.
