Broad Peak Central

Broad Peak Central reaches an elevation of 8011 meters, forming part of the extended summit ridge of the main Broad Peak mountain system.

The first successful ascent of Broad Peak Central occurred after the pioneering climb of the main summit by Austrian mountaineers in 1957.

Local Balti communities maintain traditional knowledge of the mountain paths and serve as essential guides for international climbing expeditions.

Climbers typically establish four camps along the route, with the final camp positioned at 7500 meters before attempting the summit push.

The location between K2 and the Gasherbrum massif provides climbers with views of multiple 8000-meter peaks during clear weather conditions.
