        Broad Peak 8047m

Broad Peak is the 4^th highest mountain in Pakistan and the 12^th highest in the world with an elevation of 8047m and it is located in the Karakoram Range. The mountain is located along the western Baltoro Glacier between K2 and Gasherbrum IV. William Martin Conwey a British explorer introduced the name of Broad Peak during his expedition in 1892.
The summit ridge of the peak is almost 2 km long and therefore British explorer William Martin Conwey thought Broad Peak was a suitable name.
The first ascent was made by an Austrian expedition in 1957. Four members of the expedition summitted the peak without using oxygen: Kurt Diemberger, Hermann Buhl, Fritz Winterstellar and Marcus Schmuck.
Base Camp for Broad Peak is a short 2 hours walk from Concordia and it is only a couple hours from K2 Base Camp, which might be visited in anticipation of further trips. Base Camp is set at 5000m.
Broad Peak is one of the easier 8000m peaks in the world.
