About to the southeast of the main summit of Pumari Chhish lies Pumari Chhish South, . After two unsuccessful attempts on this peak in 1999 and 2000 by Julie-Ann Clyma and Roger Payne, it was first climbed on June 12, 2007 by Yannick Graziani and Christian Trommsdorff. Among first ascents of peaks over 7000 metres, their climb was highly technical (they rate it ABO 5.10 M6 A1). They made the ascent in pure alpine style over six days. Their achievement earned them the lead article in the 2008 American Alpine Journal.
