Description
WikipediaSurveyed as K6 (Urdu: کے 6), but also known as Baltistan Peak, it is a notable peak of the Masherbrum Mountains, a subrange of the Karakoram mountain range in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. Despite being much lower than the adjoining Eight-thousanders and high 7000m peaks such as Masherbrum, K6 has huge, steep faces, and great relief above the nearby valleys.
