Trango Tower Climbing Expedition (6286m)

Trango Tower is one of the most spectacular rock climbing regions on earth with sheer granite walls soaring endlessly upwards. The expedition approaches the famous Trango Tower via the same ridgeline leading to Great Trango’s summit. The climb involves a 500m ascent to Camp 1 protected by large boulders, followed by moderate snow and rock slopes to Camp 2 beneath Trango Tower. The summit day follows a knife-edge ridge leading to the summit snowfields. This expedition offers breathtaking alpine scenery and some of the most picturesque campsites in the world, surrounded by towering rock spires and peaks of the upper Baltoro valley.
