19 Gasherbrum IV At Sunrise From Concordia  [29 of 40]


Gasherbrum IV (7925m) at sunrise from Concordia, with the northwest ridge on the left. The 3000m high Gasherbrum IV West Face was climbed by Robert Schauer and Wojciech Kurtyka in an alpine push between July 13 and 20, 1985. After reaching the North Summit, bad weather and extreme exhaustion forced them to descend, missing the main summit. Their climb was selected by Climbing magazine as the greatest Himalayan climb of the 20th century.
