Gasherbrum, Mountain peak in Karakoram Range, Pakistan and China
The Gasherbrum summit rises to 8,080 meters, making it the eleventh highest mountain on Earth and the third highest peak in Pakistan.
The Austrian expedition team led by Fritz Moravec completed the first recorded ascent of Gasherbrum in 1956, establishing a route through the glacier plateau.
Local inhabitants of the Gilgit-Baltistan region refer to Gasherbrum as the Hidden Peak, reflecting its position behind other mountains in the Karakoram range.
The ascent requires passage through four established camps, with temperatures dropping to minus 60 degrees Celsius and limited oxygen availability above 8,000 meters.
The mountain features three distinct climbing routes, including the Japanese Culvert and North Ridge paths, while the original route remains closed due to regional conflicts.
