Overview

The Trango Towers, located in Shigar, Gilgit-Baltistan on the northern side of the Baltoro Glacier, are among the most iconic granite spires in the Karakoram Range. Part of the Baltoro Muztagh subrange, these dramatic rock formations are world-famous for their steep cliffs and extreme climbing routes. The tallest peak, Great Trango Tower, rises to 6,286 meters (20,608 feet) and holds the record for the world’s highest nearly vertical rock face. Due to their unique geology and technical difficulty, the Trango Towers attract professional climbers and adventure seekers from across the globe. At Summit K2 Adventure, we proudly organize expeditions to this remarkable mountaineering destination, offering climbers a chance to test their skills on one of the most challenging walls on Earth.
