PAKISTAN / Karakorum Laila Peak 6.096 M „Ein Steiler Zahn Im Karakorum“
Detailausschreibung AMICAL alpin 2018 II. Laila Peak Expedition/Anspruchsvolle 6.000er-Expedition Aktualisiert am 06.11.2017 PAKISTAN / Karakorum Laila Peak 6.096 m „Ein steiler Zahn im Karakorum“ Wow – was ein steiler Zahn! …. bei vielen die erste Reaktion, wenn Sie den Laila Peak zum ersten Mal sehen. Zumeist von Shusbang, einer kleinen grünen Insel unterhalb des Gondogoro La bei der Rückkehr aus dem Baltoro-Gebiet. Dieser Anblick prägt sich ein – einer der schönsten Berge weltweit. Erstbestiegen wurde der Laila Peak durch eine kleine Gruppe von Engländern um Simon Yates in den 80er- Jahren. Einer der beiden Helden aus „Sturz ins Leere“ war über die steile NO-Wand auf- und über die NW-Flanke abgestiegen. Im Jahr 2005 fuhren hier Skandinavier im 45°- 50°- Gelände auf Skiern zu Tal, ohne den Gipfel ganz erreicht zu haben. Diese sehr gleichmäßige, nach oben etwas steiler werdende Flanke, die dem Berg auch sein haltloses Äußeres gibt, wird das Ziel Ihrer Expedition ins obere Hushe- Valley sein. Geleitet wird diese Expedition von Robert Hochreiter, sehr erfahrender und staatlich geprüfter Berg- und Skiführer aus dem AMICAL alpin Team.

Snowlake & Biafo Hispar La Trek
Snowlake & Biafo Hispar La Trek Trip Highlights Traverse of the Biafo & Hispar Glaciers in the Karakoram Mountains Walking on world’s longest Glacier Crossing of Hispar la 5000m Pass Beautiful Hunza Valley TRIP AT GLANCE 5-6 NIGHTS HOTELS , 14 NIGHTS CAMPING, 13-14 DAYS STRENUOUS TREKKING MAX. ALTITUDE – 5150M / 16,400FT Key Destinations:Islamabad-Skardu-Shigar-Braldu-Baltoro Glacier-Biafo Glacier-K2-Hispar Glacier- Hunza -Karakoram Highway TREK BACKGROUND The interconnected Biafo and Hispar glaciers, with a combined length of 120 kilometres, provide an unlikely natural highway that cuts through the heart of the Karakoram Range. Starting out from Askole on the approach to the Baltoro and K2, this long and relatively committing glacial traverse is undertaken annually by just a handful of expeditions. This trekking holiday does just that in a 3 week experience for budding explorers. Walking either on the glaciers themselves, or through flower-carpeted ablation valleys, we encounter challenging as well as more straightforward trekking conditions. A highlight of the trip is the camp on the Hispar La (5151m), where we can watch the afternoon shadow creeping across Snow Lake to the mighty Ogre (7285m) and turn to see the sun setting over the mountains of Hunza and the distant Hindu Kush to the west. Stunning scenery and a genuine sense of adventure in a high mountain wilderness are key attractions of this magnificent trekking holiday inh the karakoram.

Hainabrakk East Tower, South Southeast Face
358 T H E A MERIC A N A LPINE J OURNA L , 2006 View from low in the Trango approach gully: Trango Tower (T; often erroneously called Nameless Tower), Little Trango (LT), and the Southwest Summit of Great Trango (GT). The line shows Cˇmárik and Kopold’s harrowing descent of the northwest face, with (a) marking the gully that avalanched and swept Kopold 150m. The NW face is home to the 1999 American, Russian, and German routes, while the 2003 Ukrainian attempt climbs the promi- nent detached pillar just left of the NW face, continuing high up the left skyline of GT’s summit tower. The Azeem Ridge (2004) roughly follows the right-hand skyline, and the Cˇmárik- Kopold route (Assalam Alaikum) ascends farther right, out-of-view. Vlado Linek Great Trango, southwest face to south face (Assalam Alaikum), not to summit; Hainabrakk East Tower, south southeast face (Mystical Denmo); Shipton Spire, east face to northeast ridge, to with- in 80m of summit (Prisoners of the Shipton); and Ship of Fools, attempt. A joint Czech-Slovak expedition visited the Baltoro from July 26 to August 31. The team comprised eight climbers from Slovakia: Gabo Čmárik, Andrej Kolárik, Igor Koller, Jozef Kopold, Pavol Pekarčík, Juraj Poděbraský, Erik Rabatin, and I. There were four climbers from the Czech Republic: Milan Benian, Martin Klonfar, Petr Piechowicz, and Miroslav Turek. Čmárik, Kopold, Koller, and I had climbed in this region during 2004 and had unfinished projects. In particular Čmárik and Kopold wanted to climb a new line in alpine-style on the south side of Great Trango (6,286m), right of the 2004 American route, Azeem Ridge.

Pakistan I 199
Climbs & Expeditions: Pakistan I 199 PAKISTAN during the winter of 2014-’15, Tomas Mackiewicz (Poland) and Elizabeth Revol (France) reported reaching 7,800m (likely the same point as the Austrians). Mackiewicz and Revol tried again in 2015-’16, making to 7,500m with Arsalan Ahmed Ansari (Pakistan) From the small col at 7,760m, it would be possible to reach the 8,126m main summit either by following the original 1953 route or by traversing to the upper Kinshofer Route. – LINDSAY GRIFFIN, FROM INFORMATION PROVIDED BY MARKUS GSCHWENDT, AUSTRIA HINDU KUSH TIRICH MIR, NORTHWEST FACE, RARE ASCENT AND MINOR VARIATION French climbers Jérôme Chazelas and Thomas Quillet reported reaching the summit of Tirich Mir (7,708m), the highest peak in the Hindu Kush, in July, via the normal route (1967 Czechoslovak Route) up the northwest face. The crux of this route is climbing a couloir above [Above] Ganalo Peak at sunset from high on the northwest face of Nanga Parbat, during a 2008 attempt on the normal site of Camp 3 (ca 6,700m). Here, rather than climb the couloir direct, the two the northwest face. Markus Gschwendt moved out left onto snow slopes and climbed more mixed ground to the ridge above. They placed a high camp above the couloir at 7,200m and then took six hours to reach the summit. HIMALAYA More significant is that Tirich Mir, accessed through Chitral and lying very close to the Afghan border, has seen very little recent activity because of the perceived heightened terrorist threat in this area. This appears to be the first time the mountain has been summited since the NANGA PARBAT, NORTHWEST FACE VIA DIAMA GLACIER, PREVIOUSLY summer of 2001.

Muchu Chhish, Attempts Via South Ridge of Batura VI Pakistan, Karakoram, Batura Muztagh the Batura Massif from the South
AAC Publications Muchu Chhish, Attempts via South Ridge of Batura VI Pakistan, Karakoram, Batura Muztagh The Batura massif from the south. (G) is unclimbed Muchu Chhish (7,453 meters). See below for the complete caption. Photo by Jon Bowles Photography. Despite very few foreign expeditions reaching the Karakoram in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions, two teams headed for Muchu Chhish (7,453m), generally considered to be the second-highest unclimbed peak in the world—and the highest for which it is possible to obtain a permit. (The highest unclimbed summit is Gangkar Punsum, 7,570m, in the Bhutan Himalaya.) Muchu Chhish lies almost 2km east along the main watershed (the Batura Wall) from Batura VI, in the direction of Pasu Sar (7,478m). All attempts to climb the mountain have followed a prominent ridge that extends to the south from the Batura Wall. This was the route followed in 1983 by a Polish-German team led by Wladyslw Wisz that made the first ascents of Batura V (7,531m) and Batura VI (7,462m), the two most easterly summits of the Batura Group (not Batura IV, as reported in AAJ 1984). The objective of Muchu Chhish suitors has been to repeat the 1983 route to the top of the Batura Wall and then make the committing ridge traverse to the east, all of it above 7,200m. The first expedition in 2020 to arrive at base camp on the Muchuhar Glacier was a three-member team from the Czech Republic: Pavel Ben (a former mayor of Prague and member of the Czech parliament), Jiri Janak, and Pavel Korinek.

Three Visions of Rimo III 8000Ers
20 T h e A l p i n e J o u r n A l 2 0 1 3 Ten minutes after news of the pair’s success was communicated from the summit to basecamp, Agnieszka Bielecka got a radio message from Gerf- ried Göschl’s team to say they were camped about 300m below the summit SIMON YEARSLEY, MALCOLM BASS and preparing to set off. Making the summit bid Göschl himself, Swiss & RACHEL ANTILL aspirant guide Cedric Hahlen, and Nisar Hussain Sadpara, one of three professional Pakistani mountaineers to have climbed all five Karakoram Three Visions of Rimo III 8000ers. None of them was heard from or seen again. Adam Bielecki and Janusz Golab had reached the 8068m top of Gasherbrum I at 8.30am on 9 March; their novel tactic for winter high altitude climbing of leaving camp at midnight had worked. But the weather window was about to close. They descended speedily but with great care, reaching camp III at 1pm, by which time the weather had seriously deteriorated. Pressing on, they arrived at Camp II at about 5pm, ‘slightly frostbitten and very happy’. On 10 March all four members of the Polish team reached base- camp; both summiteers were suffering from second-degree frostbite, Adam Bielecki to his nose and feet, Janusz Golab to his nose. With concern mounting for Göschl, Hahlen and Nisar Hussain, a rescue helicopter was called, however poor weather stalled any flights until The Polish Gasherbrum team.(Adam Bielecki) the 15th when Askari Aviation was able to fly to 7000m and study the route.
