Chogolisa Expedition

Chogolisa (or Bride Peak) is a mountain in the Karakorum region of Pakistan. It lies near the Baltoro Glacier in the Concordia region which is home to some of the highest peaks of the world. Chogolisa has several peaks; the highest on the SW face (Chogolisa-I) rises to 7,665 meters (25,147 ft).

In 1909, a party led by Duke of the Abruzzi reached 7,498 m (24,600 ft) from a base camp located on the northern side and a high camp on the Chogolisa saddle at 6,335 m. Bad weather stopped the party from ascending further, but their climb established a new world altitude record.]

Austrian mountaineers Hermann Buhl and Kurt Diemberger attempted Chogolisa in 1957 after they had successfully summitted Broad peak behind marcus suchmuck and fritz wintersteller a few weeks earlier. On June 25 they left camp I and camped in a saddle at 6,706 m on the southeast ridge. On June 27 a sudden snowstorm forced them to retreat and, on the descent, Buhl broke off a big cornice and fell into the mountain's near vertical north face. His body has never been found.

On August 4, 1958, a japanes expedition from the Academic Alpine Club kyoto university led by Takeo Kuwabara made the ascent of Chogolisa II, placing Masao Fujihira and Kazumasa Hirai on top.

The first ascent of Chogolisa I was made on August 2, 1975, by Fred Pressl and Gustav Ammerer of an Austrian expedition led by Eduard Koblmueller almost suffered the same fate as Buhl, as he also fell through a snow cornice on the ascent, but he was roped and team members were able to pull him to safety.

Diran Peak Expedition

Diran is located in the Rakaposhi- Haramosh Range in the western karakoram. There is confusion about its height but now all agree that it is 7,272m. Height, it is one of the fascinating peaks that dominates the Gilgit valley and adds special color to its otherwise rugged beauty.A three-member Austrian expedition, which included Rainer Goschl, Rudolph Pischinger and Hanns Schell, decided to try its luck on Diran in 1968 after being refused permission to climb Kampire Dior peak. It set up camp 1 at 4,800m. Big crevasses, inclement weather and deep snow is recorded between camps I and II. It was from camp Ill that the party was able to reach the peak which it termed as a “big summit plateau”. The 1958-British expedition to Diran peak failed to climb it from north-west face because its leader, E.G.C. Warr and a member, F.C. Hoyt, were struck by storm and disappeared when only 300 feet from the summit. In 1959, a German Karakoram expedition, under the leadership of Hans Jochen Schneider, wanted to carry out a geological and geophysical survey in Batura glacier area. It was refused permission. Consequently, it turned its attention to Rakaposhi area. On the 9th June, one member, Erwin Stocker, and one porter reached an 18,000-foot-col situated to the north of Diran. Subsequently, the party could reach a place which was less than one thousand feet short of north-west face of the summit. In 1964, an Austrian expedition from Salzburg attempted to climb the peak from the north-west face but was unsuccessful because of bad weather and danger of avalanches. The party had only three climbers. In 1965, a Japanese expedition of Kyoto Mountaineering Federation attempted to climb the peak. Earlier, in 1963 two of its members had reconnoitered the peak. The party was only 250ft from the summit on north-west face when it had to abandon the climb because of ‘strong winds and whirring snow.

Spantik Expedition

spantik peak face is climbed via two different routes. The first ascent was made by Mikhail Davy and Alexander Klenov. In the beginning, they climbed from the first section on the English Route. After that, they switched to the new which needed 11 camps. An international team led by Victor Saunders picked the English Route to climb Spantik Peak. It took them 5 days to travel to the top of the mountain. They started climbing on 5th August 1987 and finished on 11th August 1987. They took two amazing routes on the toughest rock faces in the entire Karakoram Range.

Spantik Peak is situated in the massif of Haramoshi and Rakaposhi. It is close to the Barpu Garumbar glaciers. In diverse foreign maps, it is named as Yengutz peak. However, in other maps, it is written as the Genish Chish which means peak. In the year of 1892, W.M.Conway’s big expedition went to the region to travel around the glaciers near the peak. The huge expedition went to the Nushik Pass. According to the measurement of the team, it is around 5273 meters. It descends on Arandu and Kero Lungma glacier.

The British-Pakistan Army expedition headed towards the Kero Lungma and Chogolungma glaciers in the year of 1959. They wanted to travel around these glaciers and climb to the smallest peaks in the region. However, Spantik Peak was climbed from the south ridge by the expedition of the Japanese Club known as Hoshi-to-Arashi. Hoshi-to-Arashi is known as the Stars and Storms which was led by Nakamura. Also, the expedition of the Reiho Alpine Club of Japan climbed Spantik Peak in the same year. They used the south ridge to climb this peak. Y. Murata was the leader of this expedition. Both these Japanese expeditions have mentioned the avalanche dangers into the region. Both these teams

Ultar Sar Expediton

The first two summits were made in 1996 by two separate Japanese expeditions, the first on 11 July from the Tokai section of the Japanese Alpine Club led by Akito Yamazaki, and the second led by Ken Takahashi. The first summit team comprised Yamazaki and Kiyoshi Matsuoka (who died one year later on the nearby peak Bublimotin). They climbed the peak from the southwest in alpine style, doing much of the climbing at night to avoid danger from falling rock and ice. After their summit, they faced strong storms and bivouacked several days without food before returning to basecamp. Yamazaki died of an internal disease after the descent to basecamp. The second summit was made on 31 July via the south ridge by Takahashi, Masayuki Ando, Ryushi Hoshino, Wataru Saito, and Nobuo Tsutsumi. Third ascent of the peak was also made from the south west by Daniel Akbar a British Born Pakistani climber. Daniel climbed the peak solo in Alpine Style using some of the old fixed ropes from the earlier expedition.

On 1 July 2018, Pakistan Army pilots in a daring mission rescued three foreign mountaineers stuck in snow avalanche at above the height of 19,000 feet (5,800 m) on Ultar Sar Peak near Hunza. Bruce Normand and Timothy Miller from UK successfully rescued alive while their companion Christian Huber from Austria had succumbed to avalanche.[
