Pastore Peak Expedition

6209 m

Overview

Pastore Peak (6,209m) is a less-technical trekking peak located near Gasherbrum Base Camp in the Baltoro Glacier region of the Karakoram, Pakistan. It is an ideal peak for climbers looking to gain high-altitude experience before attempting 8,000m summits like Gasherbrum I & II.

Though not highly technical, the peak requires glacier travel, ropework, and basic mountaineering skills. It is climbed mainly for acclimatization or as a standalone 6,000m+ expedition.
