Gasherbrum I & II 8035m - Grade 4D

Broad Peak Expedition

Gasherbrum II the most attainable 8000m in 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 Gasherbrum, Broad Peak and K2 we add considerable strength to our team by bringing in the support of our best Nepali Sherpas to work alongside our team of Pakistan high altitude porters.

Gasherbrum II 8035m

Gasherbrum II is the least difficult of the Karakoram’s 8000m Peaks and provides a good introduction to the world of extreme high altitude mountaineering combined with one of the best treks in the world. The route is objectively safe with technical difficulties of, at most, Alpine AD- on some sections.

For this trip you should have previous experience of climbing to around 6800m and be technically competent to Scottish grade II/Alpine AD-.

Gasherbrum I (8068m) extension

In 2009 we are providing an extension to our Gasherbrum II expedition for those who wish to attempt the more difficult peak Gasherbrum I, also known as Hidden Peak (8068m/26,470ft), the 11th highest mountain in the world.  Gasherbrum in the local Balti language means 'Shining Wall'.

Level of support
Our experienced Expedition leader will be supported by some of our regular Nepali climbing Sherpas. The friendly staff will also include a team of Pakistan high altitude porters, who we work very well with. In addition, we are supported by good cooks who all adhere to high levels of hygiene and care. Climber to Sherpa ratio 2:1
