Gasherbrum in local language means “Beautiful Wall”. There are six Gasherbrum Peaks and Gasherbrum. Peak is one them. The Gasherbrum Peaks are in the Karakoram Range. A French expedition led by H. De Segogne made first attempt in 1936, but they could not climb beyond camp five (5) at a height of 6797 Meters. However, in 1958 an American expedition led by Nich Clinch made the first ascent of Gasherbrum I (Hidden Peak) and Schoening and Kaufman were first to reach the summit.
