Diran, situated in the Rakaposhi-Haramosh Range in the western Karakoram, is a captivating mountain with some historical confusion about its height. However, it is now widely acknowledged to stand at 7,272 meters above sea level. This magnificent peak graces the Gilgit Valley, enhancing its rugged beauty with a touch of splendor. In 1968, a determined Austrian expedition, composed of Rainer Goschl, Rudolph Pischinger, and Hanns Schell, set their sights on Diran. Their initial aim had been to climb Kampire Dior peak, but permission was denied, leading them to tackle Diran. The expedition established its first camp at an altitude of 4,800 meters. The journey to the summit presented daunting challenges, including treacherous crevasses, harsh weather conditions, and deep snow. It wasn’t until they reached Camp III that they successfully reached the peak, describing it as a “big summit plateau.
