Nanga
Parbat is the second highest mountain of Pakistan and ninth
highest in the world. It is not part of the Karakoram as it is
the western extremity of the mighty Himalaya. It is separated
from the Karakoram by the mighty Indus River. Since the first
disastrous British expedition led by A. F. Mummery in 1895,
mountaineers have tried to ascent its summit through different
routes but few lucky ones have succeeded. In 1934 four German
climbers and six porters perished in a storm.
In 1937 disaster 18 Sherpas and 12 climbers were buried alive by avalanche that covered their camp. In fact Nanga Parbat has claimed more lives than any other 8000ers relative to the number of attempts, hence the frightening nickname of Killer Mountain. It was first climbed in 1953 by a joint Austrian – German Expedition. Hermann Buhl made the final ascent in a tortuous 41 hours solo ordeal without oxygen. Italian mountaineer Reinhold Messner climbed the south face (Rupal Face) with his brother Gunther in 1970, descending by the Diamir face, where Gunther lost his life in an adventure.
