Trango Towers |
 |
| |
Great Trango is situated in the Trango group in Pakistan’s
Baltoro Glacier region, one of the most remarkable mountain
settings on earth. The climbing route is deceptively straightforward,
ascending from the Trango glacier to the summit of Great
Trango. The climbing is only moderately technical making
this expedition an ideal first foray to higher altitudes
or simply a wonderful experience for climbers wanting a
taste of the best that the Himalaya can offer without the
extreme altitude.
