Interactive digital elevation model (DEM) for Gasherbrum I. Tilt, rotate, and inspect high-altitude summit ridges, glacial cirques, and approach routes in high-resolution 3D WebGL cartography.
Established near the base of the South Gasherbrum Glacier at the foot of the Gasherbrum wall.
Pitched on the high glacial plateau shared with Gasherbrum II, accessed by threading through heavily crevassed ice seracs.
Pitched at the direct base of the Northwest Face beneath the imposing funnel of the Japanese Couloir.
Located on carved ice ledges at the upper exit of the couloir after sustained steep front-pointing on hard black ice.
Positioned on the wind-blasted upper col leading into the Death Zone, directly staging the final summit push.
A sharp, corniced snow crest and rock pinnacle standing as the highest point of the Gasherbrum massif.
Total vertical rise from Base Camp (5,100m) directly to the summit crest.
DMS: 35°43′28″ N, 76°41′47″ E. Verified against alpine geodesy baselines.
The vertical drop to the lowest contour encircling the peak with no higher summit inside it.
Surrounded by lateral moraines, active icefalls, and high glaciated ridges feeding regional river systems.
Topographic Architecture of Gasherbrum I
Gasherbrum I, at 8,068 meters (26,470 ft), is the eleventh-highest mountain in the world. Named 'Hidden Peak' by explorer William Martin Conway due to its concealment behind surrounding Karakoram giants, it stands on the border between Pakistan and China. The peak was first climbed in 1958 by an American team led by Nick Clinch, and in 1992 Nazir Sabir summited it with Rajab Shah and Mehrban Shah, marking his fourth Pakistani eight-thousander.
