Overview

Embark on a thrilling adventure to conquer the awe-inspiring Trango Towers, some of the most challenging and visually stunning granite peaks in the world. This expedition takes you to the heart of the Karakoram Range in Pakistan, providing an opportunity to climb the majestic Trango Tower, known for its challenging routes and iconic rock formations.

The Trango Towers are a family of rock towers situated in the Gilgit-Baltistan region, in the northern part of Pakistan. The Towers have some of the world's largest cliffs and offer some of the most challenging big wall climbing opportunities

All of the Trango Towers lie on a ridge, running northwest to southeast, with Trango Glacier to the west and the Dunge Glacier to the east. Great Trango itself is a large massif, with four identifiable summits: Main (6,286 m (20,623 ft)), South or Southwest (6,250 m (20,510 ft)), East (6,231 m (20,443 ft)), and West (6,223 m (20,417 ft)). It is a complex combination of steep snow/ice gullies, steeper rock faces, and vertical to overhanging headwalls, topped by a snowy ridge system.
