The Trango TowersThey are a family of rock towers situated in the Gilgit-Baltistan region, in northern Pakistan. The Towers have some of the world's largest cliffs and offer some of the most challenging big wall climbing opportunities. Each year, climbers from around the world embark on expeditions to the Karakoram region to climb these granite faces. The Trango Towers are situated to the north of the Baltoro Glacier and are part of the Baltoro Muztagh, which is a sub-range of the Karakoram. The highest point within the group is the summit of Great Trango Tower at 6,286 m (20,623 ft), the east face of which features the world's greatest nearly vertical drop.
Hi Team!I'm checking in and have a few questions.
1. Do all books read for the challenge apart from BOMs need to have been on your TBR before the start of the challenge?
2. For the mountains, it says it doesn't need to work up to 1000 pages but should have a mountainous form, so I'm guessing this means we can't range it from 201 to 399. What is the minimum height of a peak do you reckon?
It’s always great to see familiar names, and a big welcome to all the new book friends joining us this year!I’m Alyana from Queens, NY. I work in a library, I’m married, and we have a daughter who keeps us happily busy. This is my second favorite team challenge after UNO, and one of the things I love most about it is how it pushes me to step outside my usual reading comfort zone.
My go-to genres are psychological thrillers and romantic comedies. Fantasy and sci-fi aren’t typically my favorites (which tend to be BOM genres), but I’m always open to surprises—TOWERS has definitely done that for me before.
I’m happy to be back and excited for another fun year with Team Trango Towers!
