19 Nanga Parbat Rupal Face And Rakhiot Peak From Bazhin Glacier Just Past Rupal Face Base Camp [9 of 18]
We walked a little farther from Herligkoffer Base Camp (3656m) onto the Bazhin Glacier with the Nanga Parbat Rupal Face and the ridge to Rakhiot Peak towering above. Gunther Messner letter home June 15, 1970: To the north, directly above us, is the Rupal Flank – 4500m to the summit. It is unbelievably impressive. (The Naked Mountain by Reinhold Messner)
