Spantik, Mountain summit in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.

Spantik rises 7,027 meters above sea level within the Karakoram range, displaying a notable yellow marble pillar on its northwest face.

The first successful ascent occurred in 1955 when a German expedition reached the summit through the Chogolungma Glacier route.

The mountain carries the name Ganesh Chish in Burushaski language, referring to its golden-colored northwest pillar formation.

Climbers access the mountain through Arandu village in Shigar District or Hoper valleys in Nagar District, with the southeast ridge as the main route.

In 2019, Selena Khawaja achieved a world record by reaching the summit at age 10, becoming the youngest person to climb above 7,000 meters.
