The best time for climbing Passu Peak is from June to September.
Passu Sar or Passu Peak, standing at 7,284 meters, is a mountain peak located in the Batura Muztagh, a sub-range of the Karakoram mountain range. It is situated in the Gilgit District of the Northern Areas of Pakistan, to the west of the Hunza Valley. Passu Peak marks the highest point of the Passu massif, which also includes Passu Diar (or “Passu East”, “Pasu II”). Positioned on the main ridge of the Batura Muztagh, Passu Peak is approximately 7 kilometers (4 miles) east of Batura Sar.
The first successful ascent of Passu Peak occurred on August 7, 1994, by Max Wallner, Dirk Naumann, Ralf Lehmann, and Volker Wurnig.
The route from base camp to camp 1 traverses many ice walls and crevasses, particularly in proximity to camp 1. From advanced base camp (ABC) to camp 1, professional and experienced climbers must carefully navigate to find the exact route and secure ropes for the remaining team members. This process can be time-consuming due to the need to navigate through ice walls and crevasses. A minimum of 500 to 700 meters of rope (depending on group size), ice screws, snow tubes, and other necessary equipment is required. Climbers must be roped together for safety. It is advisable to carry two ladders in case crevasses widen during the ascent.
