Attempts to climb Muchu Chhish have been by the south ridge. This ridge was climbed by a Polish expedition in 1983 using fixed ropes while making the first ascent of Batura IV (7531 metres (24,708 ft)) which is west of Muchu Chhish. The most notable attempt on Muchu Chhish was by a Spanish expedition in 1999 which reached 6650 m (21,817 ft) on the south ridge.
