After a visit by some Pakistani climbers to the BMC's international meet we asked for some specific photos of parts of the route up Broad Peak. Thanks to Rehmat Ullah for sending these across.
The main gully up to Camp one, this can be avoided by a steeper route on the left side of the buttress if it is particularly icy or avalanche prone. © Rehmat Ullah |
The route upto camp 2 with the camp just top the right of the rocks in the middleground © Rehmat Ullah |
Thanks to Rehmat for the photos, it's great to have a bit more visualisation of the route, and the apparent mellowness of some sections, as there isn't a great deal of info out there.
However unfortunately Ueli Steck won't be there anymore to kick the steps in as he's cancelled his trip...
