Gasherbrum I Expedition
Gasherbrum I is commonly referred to as Hidden Peak. Gasharbrum peaks are the clusters of peaks to the south-east of the gigantic K2 mountain. Sylvan Saudan, a Swiss skier, set a world record by skiing down from the peak. In the native tongue, Gasharbrum means “Shinning Wall.”
The approach path to Base camp begins in Skardu via Shigar Valley, whereas the approach trip begins in Thongal or Askole via Baltoro glacier and southern Abruzzi glaciers.
