Trango Tower, Granite mountain summit in Shigar District, Pakistan
The vertical granite tower rises 6,251 meters above sea level, featuring steep rock walls and multiple climbing routes within the Karakoram range.
British mountaineer Joe Brown led the first successful ascent of Trango Tower in 1976, establishing the initial route to reach its peak.
The tower stands near settlements of Balti people, who maintain traditional practices while supporting climbing expeditions through the Karakoram mountains.
Climbers access the mountain through Skardu, proceeding to Askole village before undertaking a trek to establish base camp at high altitude.
The south face of Trango Tower extends 650 meters upward, presenting vertical and overhanging sections that demand technical climbing expertise.
