Broad Peak (8047m) “Falchan Kangri”. It has also been called enormously triple-headed Breithorn
(4,165m high three-headed peak of European Alps) of the Baltoro. It has a strong presence in its
environs neighboring K2.
The route involves climbing through a rock gully to Camp I (6000m) then by following a large snow face
we reach CII at around 6400m. A final camp is placed at 7400m from where a summit bid is made.
The climbing will not be extremely steep but the remoteness of the setting will make this an especially
rewarding experience. Whether this is your first 8000m peak or your third, the nature of climbing in this
region will have its own unique flavor.
There have been several winter expeditions to Broad Peak since 1987/88 when Andrzej Zawada, a noted
Polish climber, considered a pioneer of winter climbing in high mountain regions led the first.
The new route up the South West Face was climbed by Denis Urubko and Serguey Samoilov in Alpine
style in July 2005. Valery Babanov and his partner Victor Afanasiev climbed Broad Peak central pillar up
the West Face via a variation route in alpine style in 2008.
