SPANG-TIK EXPEDITION 2019
Travel Amazing Karakoram is a licensed Destination Management Company since 2007. We are pleased to announce Spang-tik Peak climbing Expedition for that adventurer who wants to experience the 7027m peak climbing. Travel Amazing Karakoram welcome to join & experience the Spang-tik Peak Climbing.
Spang-tik Peak face is climbed via two different routes. Alexander Klenov and Mikhail Davy climbed the first section of the pillar along the English route and then continued via a new line which required 11 bivouacs overall. The international team spent five days following Victor Saunders and Mick Fowler's English route between 5th and 11th August 1987.
The teams climbed two fantastic routes on one of the hardest and most famous rock faces in the Karakoram. Their styles of ascent varied greatly, but both succeeded in climbing two great mixed routes at high altitudes. The Peak is located in the Rakaposhi and Haramoshi massif near Barpu Garumbar glaciers. Some foreign maps name it as Yengutz peak in addition to Spang-tik peak. Other maps call it Genish Chish (peak). Spang-tik reaches a height of 7027 meters. In 1892 a large expedition of W.M. Conway went to the area to explore the glaciers situated around the peak. The expedition thereafter crossed Nushik pass, which the team measured at 5273 meters and descended on to Kero Lungma glacier and Arandu.
