Their proximity makes the relationship between peak and saddle the main interest of this setting. The surrounding upper slopes connect different catchments, so a route ending near the pass need not descend back through the valley from which it began. Jalamysh should also be distinguished from any other summit name appearing in a longer traverse description.
Named summit reference from the cited map or primary report, not a trailhead.
