Broad Peak is the 12th highest mountain in the world: an 8,051 meter-peak to climb located in the Karakoram Range in Northeastern Pakistan. The mountain is located along the western Baltoro glacier between K2 and Gasherbrum IV. The first ascent of Broad Peak, in Pakistan’s Karakoram mountains, was achieved by a small Austrian expedition in 1957. Broad Peak was the eleventh among the world’s 14 “eight thousands” (peaks of at least 8000m) to be climbed. All four of the team members – Marcus Schmuck, Fritz Wintersteller, Kurt Diemberger, and Hermann Buhl – reached the summit.
