TRIP OVERVIEW
Baltoro Kangri — the Golden Throne — sits at the very head of the Baltoro Glacier, a broad snow massif with several summits.
The climb combines a full Baltoro approach trek with glacier and snow-ridge climbing, and is a fine objective for teams stepping up from 6,000 m peaks.
Concordia is used as the staging point, so the trip doubles as a K2 Base Camp trek.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Golden Throne massif at the head of the Baltoro
- Includes the full Concordia approach
- Good step-up objective before an 8,000er
