Choktoi Glacier 2006

Tags: Posted on October 31, 2007

Near the end of June 2006, Jeff Relph and I found ourselves at 6800 meters getting thoroughly abused by vicious snow and avalanches on a new-route attempt on the southeast buttress of the Ogre (7285m). We made it down safely, but there was not enough time for a second attempt.

Ogre approachWe needed to wait until midnight for the Choktoi Glacier to freeze, in order to hump our loads to the base of the Ogre's SE ridge. I left my camera on a tripod while we made the two hour return trip from ABC. The light on the summit of the Ogre is from the moon. Karakorum Range, Pakistan.
