Broad Peak - 8047m. |
Country: Pakistan |
Description |
| In 1982 a British reconnaissance bestowed
the name Broad Peak to what was hitherto known as Flachen
Kangri.
The peak has two summits, the broad topped middle summit
and the main summit. It was first climbed by H. Buhl,
K. Diemberger, M. Schmuck and F. Wintersteller in 1957.
The Austrians were the first ascensionists on Broad Peak
in 1957, the route they followed on the west face is a
steep broad ridge connecting the base camp to a saddle
between the central and higher south summit. Our route
approach to the base camp is from the Skardu town, which
is connected to Islamabad both by air and land. The last
village on the trek to the Baltoro glacier is Askole.
The base camp is about six or seven days away.
