This expedition uses your unique concept we call EXPRESS ASCENT, a special way of climbing as it will reduce the time needed to climb by almost 50%. So that is 35 days instead of 60!

Gasherbrum I (also known as Hidden Peak or K5) is the eleventh highest peak in the world and is located on the border between China and Pakistan. Gasherbrum-I is part of the Gasherbrum massif in the Karakoram region of the Himalayas. Gasherbrum I is often referred to as a “shining wall”, probably an indication of the highly visible area of ​​the neighboring peak Gasherbrum IV; In fact, however, it comes from “rgasha” (beautiful) + “brum” (mountain) in Balti, so it is actually called “beautiful mountain”. Gasherbrum I was designated by Montgomery as K5 (meaning the 5th summit of Karakorum). This happened in 1856, when he first discovered the peaks of the Karakorum more than 200 km away during the Great Trigonometric Survey of India. In 1892, William Martin Conway gave the alternate name Hidden Peak in terms of its extreme remoteness. Gasherbrum I was first boarded by Pete Schoening and Andy Kauffman on July 5, 1958, as members of an eight-man American expedition led by Nicholas B. Clinch. Richard K. Irvin, Tom Nevison, Tom McCormack, Bob Swift and Gil Roberts were also members of the team.

Please note:

The price offered here is for the trek and accomodation until and including basecamp. It is suitable for all climbers who want to go alpine style!

For climbers who seek for a group, that is also possible as we might be having a joint expedition group anyhow. For climbing equipment, extra porters (that is how guides are called in Pakistan), extra charges apply. Contact us for more details, we are very open to help you.

Entire Organisation made by HÖHENBERGSTEIGEN and our very experienced partner Hunza Guides Pakistan. Pro climbers such as Simone Moro, Denis Urubko, David Lama trust and travel with our partner! Highest quality while on the mountain and intense experience = your safety!
