Passu Sar, Mountain summit in Gilgit District, Pakistan.
Passu Sar is a mountain summit in the Batura Muztagh section of the Karakoram range, standing at 7,478 meters above sea level. The peak is characterized by steep ice faces and numerous crevasses that define its challenging terrain.
The first documented ascent took place in 1994 when a German expedition team reached the summit, opening this high-altitude route to mountaineers. The successful climb established the peak as an accessible target for experienced alpinists in the region.
The mountain name originates from local languages of the Hunza Valley, where different ethnic groups maintain their traditional practices in surrounding settlements.
Climbers require between 500 and 700 meters of rope, ice screws, snow tubes, and ladder systems to navigate the technical sections. Proper mountaineering experience and specialized high-altitude equipment are important for safe passage.
The peak stands approximately 7 kilometers east of Batura Sar and forms a natural boundary within Khunjerab National Park. Its prominence of 647 meters above neighboring peaks makes it visually distinct within the surrounding mountain landscape.
