Kolphin Peak (6,447m)

Overview

  Kolpin Peak, at 6,000 meters, is located in the Karakoram Range and offers a mix of technical challenges and scenic rewards. It is an ideal peak for climbers looking for a slightly less demanding ascent compared to the towering 7,000 and 8,000-meter giants, while still enjoying the rugged beauty of Pakistan’s northern mountains. The climb combines snow, ice, and rock, providing an exciting and rewarding journey to the summit. Kolpin Peak is perfect for those seeking an adventurous expedition with less commercialized routes. Its remote location allows climbers to experience the true wilderness of the Karakoram Range, surrounded by glaciers and towering peaks.
