Chogolisa: Hermann Buhl's Nadir

by Herman Buhl

Chogolisa, the world's 36th highest peak, lies near the Baltoro Glacier in the Concordia region of the Karakoram. Its four ridges, of which three have been been climbed, culminate in the two summits. The peak is highly exposed to winds with deep snow. Chogolisa has several peaks, the highest rises above the south face (Chogolisa I) to 7,665m (25,148ft). The second highest, 7,654m, on the northeast side (Chogolisa II), was named Bride Peak by Martin Conway in 1892.
