Dhaulagiri IV is one of the higher satellite summits of the Dhaulagiri Himal in north-central Nepal, reaching 7,661 metres to the west of Dhaulagiri I. It has long carried a reputation as one of the more difficult and dangerous seven-thousanders, having repelled numerous expeditions and claimed lives before and after its first ascent in 1975. A Himalayan fold peak, it was raised by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. The site classifies it grade 5, its most severe tier, reflecting sustained technical difficulty at altitude. Rarely climbed, it draws only occasional attempts by parties working through the wider Dhaulagiri group.
