13 Chogolisa Late Afternoon From Shagring Camp On Upper Baltoro Glacier  [44 of 46]


Chogolisa (7665m) is a high snow peak with a distinctive long, almost level summit ridge, seen from Shagring camp on the Upper Baltoro Glacier. Chogolisa I (7665m) is the southwest summit on the left. The slightly lower northeast summit Chogolisa II (7654m) was named Bride Peak by Sir Martin Conway in 1892. In 1909, a party led by Duke of the Abruzzi reached 7500m before being stopped by bad weather. Hermann Buhl and Kurt Diemberger attempted Chogolisa in 1957 after they had successfully summited Broad Peak a few weeks earlier. On June 25 they left camp I and camped in a saddle at 6706m on the southwest ridge. Bad weather forced them to retreat and on June 27 Buhl fell through a cornice and disappeared. His body has never been found.
