The date of the first successful ascent of Passu Sar is disputed. It was said to have been first climbed in 1978 by a Japanese-Pakistani team,in an expedition which claimed the life of Japanese climber Toshio Takahashi,who fell into a crevasse at 5,800 meters. [3] Another report dates the first assent on 7 August 1994 by the German team of Max Wallner,Dirk Naumann,Ralf Lehmann,and Volker Wurnig. [2] [4]
