Difficulty of passage
editThe pass is considered very difficult to cross. It was reached in 1830 by G.W. Traill, the first British Deputy Commissioner of Kumaon division, who it was named after. In 1926, it was crossed by Hugh Ruttledge.[2]
Since 1830, Trail's pass has been attempted by more than 90 teams; As of October 2021[update], only 20 teams are known to have succeeded, most recently a group from Uttarakhand in October 2021.[3]
