Broad Peak Expedition
(8051M)

Broad Peak Expedition Overview

Broad Peak, rising to 8,051 meters (26,414 feet), is located in Pakistan’s Karakoram Range in the northeastern region of the country. It is the 12th tallest mountain globally and sits along the western side of the Baltoro Glacier, nestled between K2 and Gasherbrum IV. The first successful ascent of Broad Peak was made in 1957 by a small Austrian team consisting of Marcus Schmuck, Fritz Wintersteller, Kurt Diemberger, and Hermann Buhl—all of whom reached the summit. This achievement marked Broad Peak as the eleventh of the world’s fourteen 8,000-meter peaks to be climbed. Among the world’s highest peaks, Broad Peak is considered relatively accessible for climbers. Despite its height above 8,000 meters, it is regarded as one of the easier 8,000-meter mountains to summit. Many international mountaineers use it as a training climb before attempting more challenging peaks such as K2. One advantage for climbers is the close proximity of Broad Peak’s base camp to that of K2—only about a 90-minute journey separates them.
