We climbed Yalung Nong from a basecamp in the valley west of Yalung Nyau La. According to our GPS readings, the northwestern "summit" is 6063 m, the southern "summit" is 6080 m. They are separated by a saddle at 5960 m, meaning that both summits are not negligible. Besides the usual acclimatization challenges, this is probably the easiest (but also one of the most boring) 6000 m peaks.
