gashabrum-v Expedition
Gasherbrum V is a mountain in the Gasherbrum massif, located in the Karakoram range of Gilgit–Baltistan, Pakistan
The lonely Gasherbrum range peak, which is one of the few unclimbed difficulties in the area, is thought to be harder to climb than K2 (V 7147-M). On top of the 7,147-meter mountain, two well-known Korean alpinists were standing. Early in the summer, Nak-jong Seong and Chi-young Ahn arrived at base camp. They initially attempted the north face before switching to the south side. At 4,770 metres, they began climbing the southeast face after a three-kilometer glacier approach. They made their ascent in true alpine fashion.
