A high feature overlooking the Indian positions to its south east . In November 1962, after having stopped the Chinese advance through Kibithu at a point near the Namti Nullah and Ladders, the Indian Army did not occupy this or its adjacent feature Green Pimple. The Chinese then swung around the Indian positions by climbing up to and occupying them instead . The Indian response of basing themselves at the even higher Trijunction and flowing downwards at the two pimple peaks led to grim and hard fighting but a failure at keeping a better supplied Chinese from not reaching Walong.
