Broad Peak Expedition


Named for the immense bulk of the peak, Broad Peak (local name Falchen Kangri) stands omnipotent. The climbing will not be especially steep but the remoteness of the setting will make this an especially rewarding experience. Whether this is your first 8000m peak or your third, the nature of climbing in this region will have its own unique flavor. We establish our BC and spend a day of rest, acclimatisation and sorting equipment. We will be establishing three camps on the mountain making our summit bid towards the end of July, this being the more stable weather period in the region.

The route involves climbing through a rock gully to Camp I (6000m) then by following a large snow face we reach Camp-II at around 6500m. A final camp is placed at 7200m from where we make the summit bid.
Fixed ropes protect the steeper sections of the route, which are mostly lower on the climb.
