Yutmaru Sar

Yutmaru Sar rises to 7,330 meters in elevation, situated between Kanjut Sar and the extensive Hispar Glacier in the Karakoram mountain range.

The Japanese mountaineering team, led by Tadao Sugimoto, completed the first documented ascent of Yutmaru Sar in July 1981 after establishing three camps.

The mountain stands within the Gilgit-Baltistan region, where local communities maintain traditions of mountain guidance and expedition support through generations of experience.

Climbing expeditions to Yutmaru Sar require permits from Pakistani authorities, extensive planning, and typically commence from the base camp on Yutmaru Glacier.

The north ridge approach to Yutmaru Sar presents technical climbing challenges through snowfields and requires a bivouac at 22,300 feet during summit attempts.
