An Italian Club Alpino Italiano made the first ascent of Bethartoli Himal in 1977. Before that there are at least four unsuccessfully attempt made. They climbed from a previously unattempted north ridge. They approached from the Trisuli Nala and established their Base Camp at 14,100 feet just below the northeast face. Camp I was established at 16,400 feet below the face. Camps II and III were at 17,750 and 19,000 feet on the north ridge. On September 17 Cesare Cesa Bianchi, Maurizio Maggi and Renato Moro starting from Camp III for the summit, reached summit at 1 p.m. An hour later they are followed by the other two members, Marco Tedeschi and Gianluigi Landreani, who had ascended directly from Camp II.[1]
