Rock Climbing on Baltar Glaicier
Beki Brakai Chhok- Darwo Chhok- Kako Peak
Italians Herve Barmasse and Simone Moro have made the first ascent of Beka Brakai Chhok (6,940m), a high and imposing snow and ice peak in the Karakorum’s Batura Group. The ascent and descent were completed in an impressive 43-hour alpine-style attempt with very minimal bivouac equipment, the pair overcoming exposed, poorly protected and delicate sections of hard climbing.
Kako Peak
Martin and Florian Riegler have established a new route on a previously unnamed and unclimbed 4,950 m peak in the Baltura Muztagh range of the western Karakorum, Pakistan. They have proposed the name Kako Peak for the mountain. It is situated near the Baltar Glacier, west of the Hunza Valley.
The route, which the brothers called Ramadhan, gave difficulies up to 6c+/7a, and A2. The lower part of the route is slabby; the upper part is very steep culminating in three towers. This section of the route took 2 days. Martin Riegler described the route as “very logical, with the most amazing pitches we have ever climbed.”
