In honor of the start of the climbing season in the Karakoram I thought Iβd share this video, which shows us the route that climbers must take on their way to the summit. The climb actually begins in the village of Askole, with a long and difficult trek required just to reach Base Camp.
From there, the real work begins with a challenging climb up one of the most difficult and dangerous mountains on the planet. Weβre weeks away from anyone actually attempting a summit push at this point, but this is what theyβll face in the days ahead.
