Gasherbrum I (also known as K5 or Hidden Peak) is the eleventh
highest peak. Gasherbrum I is part of the Gasherbrum massif, located in the
Karakoram region of the Himalaya. Gasherbrum in the local language means "Shining
Wall".
Gasherbrum I was designated K5 (meaning the 5th peak of the Karakoram) by T.G.
Montgomery in 1856 when he first spotted the peaks of the Karakoram from more
than 200 km away during the Great Trigonometric Survey of India. In 1892, William
Martin Conway provided the alternate name, Hidden Peak, in reference to its
extreme remoteness.
Gasherbrum I was first climbed on July 5, 1958 by Pete Schoening and Andy Kauffman
of a American expedition lead by Nicholas B. Clinch.
