Gasherbrum II (also known as K4) is the thirteenth highest
mountain on Earth. Gasherbrum II is the third highest peak of the Gasherbrum
massif, located in the Karakoram range of the Himalaya.
The standard route is via the SW ridge as it is relatively free of objective
hazards such as ice fall and avalanches. A typical expedition lasts 7 to 8 weeks
with climbing permits costing about $7,500 USD for five climbers.
Gasherbrum II was first climbed on July 8, 1956 by Fritz Moravec, Josef Larch
and Hans Willenpart of an Austrian expedition.
