Gasherbrum II 8,035 meters

Gasherbrum II is part of the Gasherbrum massif, a collection of six peaks in the Karakoram Range. It is positioned near the border of Pakistan and China, close to other renowned peaks like Gasherbrum I (Hidden Peak) and Broad Peak. The region is renowned for its awe-inspiring beauty, with towering mountains and vast glaciers. The first successful ascent of Gasherbrum II occurred in 1956 by an Austrian expedition led by Fritz Moravec. Since then, many expeditions have attempted to conquer its challenging slopes. Gasherbrum II remains a coveted peak for mountaineers seeking a significant high-altitude challenge. Gasherbrum II presents considerable technical difficulties to climbers. It features steep and icy slopes, exposed ridges, and sections of challenging rock and ice climbing. Mountaineers must possess excellent climbing skills, physical fitness, and experience in high-altitude environments to tackle this peak safely. Scaling Gasherbrum II rewards climbers with breathtaking vistas of the surrounding Karakoram Range. The peak offers panoramic views of neighboring peaks, expansive glaciers, and the rugged mountain terrain. Its remote and untouched surroundings enhance the sense of adventure and natural beauty. Gasherbrum II holds great significance in the mountaineering world. It represents a formidable challenge for climbers due to its technical difficulties and high altitude. The conquest of Gasherbrum II requires careful planning, acclimatization, and teamwork, making it a pinnacle achievement for experienced mountaineers.

    TREK TO CONCORDIA (4,600m) 5 HOURS WALK

    Today we will trek to Concordia, it will take us through what must arguably be the most spectacular mountain scenery anywhere in the world. Our approach to Concordia continues along the heaving swells of the Baltoro Glacier as we pass Mustagh Tower (7,284m). Ahead of us Gasherbrum IV (7,925m) acts like a beacon drawing us on, whilst at some points on today’s walk we can also see Gasherbrum ll (8,035m) which peeks out to the right of Gasherbrum lV. As we make our way up the Baltoro, the aptly named Broad Peak (8,051m) comes into view above the ridge connecting Marble Peak and Crystal Peak on our left. K2 keeps itself hidden until the very moment we reach Concordia when suddenly its full height is revealed in sweeping lines that climb almost 4,000 metres from the valley floor to the summit – a sight that will never be forgotten. Concordia is a wide area where glaciers coming down from K2 meet those from the Gasherbrums and Chogolisa. It is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular places on the planet and here you can stand within 24 kilometres of no fewer than four eight-thousanders and ten of the world’s thirty highest peaks! We make our camp at approximately 4,500 metres on a moraine ridge surrounded on all side by jagged peaks including Gasherbrum IV, Mitre Peak, Chogolisa, Crystal Peak, Marble Peak, Baltoro Kangri, Broad Peak and K2.

    My trek to Concordia with Karakoram Fair Expeditions was absolutely phenomenal! The team’s professionalism, from the expert guides to the hardworking porters, made this journey seamless. Every detail was perfectly arranged—comfortable camps, delicious meals, and well-planned acclimatization. The landscapes were breathtaking, but the team’s hospitality made it truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!
