Gasherbrum IV

Gasherbrum IV

It was in 1958 that a strong Italian expedition led by Riccardo Cassin climbed Gasherbrum IV peak (7,925m/26,000ft) through north ridge after over-coming great climbing difficulties. It were the mountaineers like Walter Bonatti and Carlo Mauri who successfully ached its top.

They spent the whole night at camp-6 because of a severe snow storm. day they came down to camp-5 (7,193m/23,600ft) through a very dangerous route. It was one of the members of this party, Giuseppi de Francesch, who stopped himself from falling to his death from this mountain.
