of the Baltoro Glaciers, the principal access to that part of the Karakoram.The local name of Borad peak is Faichan Kangri, it is called Broad Peak because of its breadth at the top. It has the distiniction of being the same valley as the famous K2. Though its majesty may suffer in comparison to its big sister, Broad peak is spectacular in its own right. Broad peak base camp for short 3
hour walk from Concordia basecamp of Board Peak is only a couple hours from K2 base Camp. In 1957, an Austrian expedition came to Pakistan to climb this peak. It was led by Marcus Schmuck. It began a reconnaissance of a ridge on the western face of the mountain.
