Baintha Brakk, Mountain peak in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
The Baintha Brakk summit rises 7,285 meters above sea level, featuring a south face that ascends 3,000 meters over the Uzun Brakk Glacier.
British mountaineers Doug Scott and Chris Bonington completed the first ascent in 1977, followed by a second successful climb only 24 years later.
The peak carries two names: Baintha Brakk in the local language and The Ogre, reflecting its commanding presence in the Panmah Muztagh region.
Climbers must obtain permits from Pakistani authorities and arrange transportation from Islamabad to Skardu before starting the expedition to base camp.
The mountain's steep rock structure creates such demanding climbing conditions that only three successful ascents were recorded between 1977 and 2012.
