TRIP OVERVIEW
Gasherbrum II is widely regarded as one of the more straightforward 8,000 metre peaks, with a logical south-west ridge and three high camps.
The approach shares the Baltoro with K2 and Broad Peak before branching up the Abruzzi and South Gasherbrum glaciers.
We support both oxygen-assisted and oxygen-free attempts.
