Chogolisa

Chogolisa reaches an elevation of 7,668 meters and features two distinct summits within the Karakoram mountain range near the Baltoro Glacier.

A Japanese expedition team, led by Yoshio Ogata with climbers Tsuneo Shigehiro, Yu Watanabe, and Sherpa Ang Kami, achieved the first ascent in 1975.

The mountain stands in Gilgit-Baltistan, where Balti, Shina, and Wakhi communities maintain their traditions through generations in the high-altitude settlements.

Climbing expeditions require permits from Pakistani authorities and typically span 45 days, with the optimal climbing season occurring between June and August.

The mountain displays a particular silhouette with its double-peaked formation, which has earned it recognition among mountaineers in the Karakoram range.
