==Climbing history==
It was first climbed by [[Eric Shipton]] and two sherpa's [[Ang Tharkay]] and [[Ang Dawa]] in 1936 during [[Osmaston–Shipton 1936 expedition]], as members of [[Major Osmaston]]'s party which went into the Nanda Devi region under the orders of the Surveyor-General in 1936. They climbed a {{convert|21770|ft|adj=on|order=flip}} peak on the watershed overlooking the Milam glacier and camped at about {{convert|17500|ft|order=flip}} in a subsidiary valley. On 23rd September they started before dawn to climb up a steep and difficult ice ridge which involved of step-cutting. Ang Dawa became exhausted early in the climb, and by the time Ang Tharkay and Eric Shipton reached the top the Milam glacier was filled with cloud, and they did not get the view they had hoped for. It was an unnamed peak at that time but highest on that side.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Shipton |first1=Eric |title=SURVEY WORK IN THE NANDA DEVI REGION : Himalayan Journal vol.09/7 |website=www.himalayanclub.org |date=1937 |volume=9 |url=https://www.himalayanclub.org/hj/09/7/survey-work-in-the-nanda-devi-region/ |accessdate=26 June 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Kapadia |first1=Harish |title=Across Peaks & Passes in Kumaun Himalaya |date=1999 |publisher=Indus Publishing |isbn=978-81-7387-096-5 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nD95LUfpgzgC&q=sakram+first+ascent&pg=PA42 |accessdate=26 June 2020 |language=en}}</ref>

On the western side [[Uttari Nanda Devi Glacier]] joins [[Uttari Rishi Glacier]] and drains into Rish Ganga. [[Rishi Ganga]] met with [[Dhauliganga River]] near Rini.
