A climber named
Matthias Rebitsch is recorded (by Neate) as having been in the icefall area (this is presumably the Batura First Ice Flow on the north side of the peak) in 1954. The peak was attempted in 1959 by three British and two German climbers, but they all died, probably in an avalanche. Some

The first ascent route climbed first from the
Eastern Baltar Glacier up and over Batokshi Peak (called "Saddle Peak" by the first expedition) to Batokshi Pass (called the "Batura Saddle"). It then climbed diagonally up and northeast to East Ridge, and thence to the summit. The route used five camps

The first ascent of the peak was in 1976 by the Göppingen
Karakoram-Himalaya Expedition, led by Dr. Alexander Schlee. They placed their base camp on the Baltar Glacier, below the South Face of the peak, on May 21. Hubert Bleicher and Herbert Oberhofer reached the summit on June 30.

The
Himalayan Index lists five other failed attempts on the peak; these include a winter attempt by an Austrian group in 1981. However, there seems to have been little or no activity on the north side of the mountain since the 1950s.

The year 1988 saw the third or fourth ascent of Batura Sar, by another Polish-German expedition, led by Piotr Młotecki. They used the first ascent route; however, they failed in an additional goal of reaching Batura I West.

Batura Sar and the Batura Wall lie near the middle of the Batura
Muztagh between Shindar shander valley Nagar and Gojal Hunza, which is the only part of the Karakoram which is west of the

The Batura Wall is notable for being a long (approximately 11.3 km) and imposing ridge over 7000m. Batura is a very ridge-like peak, rather than a pointed spire.

The second ascent of the peak was in 1983 by an
Austrian group, who climbed a new route, to the left of the first ascent route.

The
Himalayan Index lists an ascent in 1984, but this is contradicted by Neate's book, so the status of this is unclear.
