Broad Peak, a
superb high altitude ascent with magnificent views of K2 and
the Karakoram.

Background
We
have gained a reputation for success on 8000m peaks; much is to
do with the strength of support we put in place. On Broad Peak and
K2 we add considerable strength to our team by bringing in the support
of our best Nepali Sherpa’s to work alongside our team of
Pakistan high altitude porters.
Perhaps you have no ambition to climb K2. Broad Peak is attainable
by the less technically skilled mountaineer who wants to climb in
the shadow of K2, which is directly opposite.
Base Camp will be established on the medial moraine of the Goodwin-Austen
Glacier at 4900m, followed by three further camps at higher intervals
on the mountain. Attractive snow and rock scrambling weaves through
the lower slopes onto the crest of the West Spur. Further up, our
route hits the smooth lines of terrific glaciated slopes, with occasional
ice walls to overcome above 7500m. A well defined ridge leads from
the col at 7800m to the summit,with extensive views towards K2,
only five miles away.
For this trip you should have previous experience of climbing
to around 6800m and be technically competent to Scottish grade II/Alpine
AD-.
Level
of support
Our experienced Expedition leader will be supported by some
of our regular Nepali climbing Sherpas. This friendly staff will
also include a team of Pakistan high altitude porters, who we work
very well with. In addition, we are also supported by equally good
cooks who all have high levels of hygiene and care. Climber to Sherpa
