In reply to mikefergy:
'We also made the first ascent of Kyungka Peak (22,900 feet), which is located at the middle part of the Langtrang Glacier. Kondo, Sasaki and a Sherpa climbed to the summit on May 8 from the eastern glacier. [Editor's note: This peak is actually Pemthang Ri (Bemdang Rig), 6,150m, often called Morimoto Peak.] '
Ready to be confused ? Right off we go....
That huge height discrepancy between 6150M and 22900' is due to older maps and the NMA giving the height for Morimoto as 6750m instead of 6150m. Probably mistaking it for Pemthang Ri. ?
Personally Im certain that the Pemthang Ri name for Morimoto Peak given in that Japanese report is incorrect, Pemthang Ri is usually given as 6757m and is a really difficult looking peak on the ridge out from Penthang Karpo Ri.(also known as Dome Blanc.)
Pemthang Karpo (without the Ri) itself is actually a yak grazing area. Its also more usually known as Morimoto Base Camp so that may be where the confusion stems from.
Still with me ?
Paulo Grobel has done some stuff in that part of the Langtang Valley perhaps check out his blog or contact him ?

As Damo says, there is lots of confusion over names and locations of peaks in that part of the valley. Personally Id just head up to Morimoto BC and find something that looks suitable. Or if you can fight your way up to Tilmans Col (An utter bastard of a slog that you'll remember for the rest of your life along with some awkward route finding from the Langtang side) Urkinman Peak (lots of different spellings of this too) looked to be not too bad from Tilmans Col itself. Or just enjoy Naya Kanga and some of the peaks in the lower Langtang valley.
Good luck with it
