Kang Yissay?
Jonny2vests - 14/May/10
The peak is identified as Kang Yatze on the Editions Olizane map we used and that now seems the most common local anglicization of the spelling, though most of the Ladakhi mountains seem to have a multitude of alternative spellings, i've seen Kang Yissay used and Kang Yatse. The mountain is viewed here from the Markha valley (NW of the peak) and the main summit (6400m) is almost totally obscured from this angle, it just pokes out to the left of the main snow hump (Kang Yatze II 6200m).
