Broad Peak is located in the Karakoram Range, along the border between Pakistan and China. The peak, the twelfth tallest in the world and fourth tallest in Pakistan, received its name from its broad summit, over 1.5 km in length, containing five separate peaks: Broad Peak (8,051 m.), Rocky Summit (8,028 m.), Broad Peak Central (8,011 m.), Broad Peak North (7,490), and Kharut Kangri (6,942 m.). It was first successfully summitted in June, 1957, by an Austrian team consisting of Fritz Wintersteller, Marcus Schmuck, Kurt Diemberger, and Herman Buhl (also credited with the first ascent of Nanga Parbat). This first ascent was accomplished without supplemental oxygen, high altitude porters, or base camp support.

The flight, however, will not operate in poor weather, and you must be prepared for a wait in Islamabad if the flight is canceled.

GONDOGORO LA - KHUSPANG
- Starting in the early hours to minimize the risk of stone fall as we descend from the Gondogoro La later. The ascent is normally all on snow, and we may need to rope up to cross the glacier to the base of the pass. On the steeper sections, ropes are in place to use as a handrail and for safety. From the top, the ‘big four’ are clear to the northeast, and to the south, we look down the Hushe valley dominated by the arrow-like Leila peak. The descent is initially a 45o snow slope, with the angle easing and the snow changing to screed as we descend. Our exact campsite for the night will be determined by our pace and whether or not we have been delayed. 9 to 10 hours walking.
