Overview
when climbing Batian peak you need a serious organization and training,in order to summit,There are 2 routes to reach the batian peak
1. The North Face Standard Route which is the most direct line to batian
-Best Season: July to September / early October. During these months, the sun is slightly to the north, leaving this face mostly clear of ice and snow.
-10 to 12 hour summit back
2. The South Face via the Gate of the Mists
-An authentic, highly challenging alpine traverse that tackles the mountain's second-highest peak first
-The Traverse: From Nelion, you must drop down and cross the Gate of the Mists, a narrow, heavily exposed couloir that is frequently choked with snow and ice, necessitating crampons and ice axes. After crossing, a final 2 to 3 pitches lead to Batian's summit.
Summit Day:takes 12 to 15 hours,
