TRIP INTRODUCTION

Broad Peak, considered as easiest 8000m peak to climb in Pakistan mountain in the world at 8,047 meters, is located in the Karakoram Range in Northeastern Pakistan. The mountain is located along the western Baltoro glacier between K2 and Gasherbrum IV. The first ascent of Broad Peak, in Pakistan’s Karakoram mountains, was achieved by a small Austrian expedition in 1957. Broad Peak is the twelfth highest mountain in the world and was the eleventh of world’s 14 “eight thosanders” (peaks of at least 8000m) to be climbed. All four of the team members – Marcus Schmuck, Fritz Wintersteller, Kurt Diemberger and Hermann Buhl – reached the summit.
