Gasherbrum I

Gasherbrum I

Gasherbrum in local language means "Shining Wall". There are six Gasherbrum Peaks. Gasherbrum I, also known as Hidden Peak (8,068m/26,470ft), is the highest peak among them. A French Expedition led by H. De Segogne made first attempt in 1936, but they could not climb beyond Camp V at a height of 6,797 m. However, in 1958 an American Expedition led by Nich Clinch made the first ascent of Gasherbrum I. Schoening and Kaufman were first to reach the summit. The approach route to Basecamp starts from Skardu through Shigar Valley and approach trek starts from Askole through Baltoro glacier.
