| In
1982 a British reconnaissance bestowed the name Broad Peak to what was hitherto
known as Flachen Kangri. The peak has two summits, the broad topped middle summit
and the main summit. It was first climbed by H. Buhl, K. Diemberger, M. Schmuck
and F. Wintersteller in 1957. The Austrians were the first ascensionists on Broad
Peak in 1957, the route they followed on the west face is a steep broad ridge
connecting the base camp to a saddle between the central and higher south summit.
Our route approach to the base camp is from the Skardu town, which is connected
to Islamabad both by air and land. The last village on the trek to the Baltoro
glacier is Askole. The base camp is about six or seven days away. The full potential
of Broad Peak is finally being realized but there still remain logical routes
for fresh ascents. Rout
