Climbing a so called "Trekking Peak" has nothing to do with trekking, but everything with ice-climbing. The climb is very tough and very cold: I got mild frostbite on four vingers due to taking pictures. The reward, however, is big. At 6000 meters and just 10 km from Mt Everest the view is unbelievable!
