Baltoro Kangri

Baltoro Kangri rises to an elevation of 7,312 meters within the Karakoram range, featuring steep rocky faces and the extensive Baltoro Glacier at its base.

The Tokyo University Ski Alpine Club, led by Seihei Kato, accomplished the first documented ascent of Baltoro Kangri with nine members on August 4, 1963.

The mountain stands as a central element in the Gilgit-Baltistan region, where local communities maintain traditional practices while supporting mountaineering expeditions.

Climbing permits, professional guides, and a minimum of 37 days are required for expeditions, with base camps established at specific elevations for proper acclimatization.

The mountain forms part of a system including the Abruzzi Glacier to the north and ranks as the 82nd highest peak globally.
