The first ascent of this peak, formerly known as Fluted Peak, was made by Wilf Noyce and David Cox on its North–East Face and the top section of the East Ridge. Singu Chuli is the first summit on the long ridge down from Tarke Kang (Glacier Dome) which separates the South and West Annapurna Glaciers. Annapurna South Base Camp provides the best distant view of the mountain. To date, apart from the original route, most efforts to climb this mountain have concentrated on the face and ridges seen from this viewpoint.
Most commercial climbing groups have tried to summit Tent Peak and have found this mountain to be very difficult to climb. The terrain between the two mountains is confusing and the ridge is not straight. The southwest ridge of the mountain connects with Tent Peak.
