Batian peak, which is the highest (5,199m) is best climbed in July to end of September using the North Face Standard Route. Peak Nelion is usually done by the Mackinders route facing southeast between December to February. June to December is good for the famous ice routes of the Diamond Couloir and Ice Window facing southwards. Unfortunately, global warming has already melted away most of the ice on these routes. The usual Lenana peak which is commonly done by most groups because it is a much easier trek can be done in any month of the year.
