Islamabad: The Polish Mountaineer Mr. Janusz Golap the Alpinist has shared his experiences of measuring the nameless Trango Towers in Gilgit Baltistan region of Pakistan. He has shared his observations on his social media page as :

” The trip to the nameless Trango towers has come to an end, but we are still Pakistan and waiting for our flight to Poland. It wasn’t an easy expedition and here I’m not only talking about the mountains – already in Pakistan we were struck by information about Russia’s aggression on our neighbors. It was not pink in the mountains either, but we were well prepared just for that. Of course, we didn’t influence the weather choice.

The English route we chose to target was interesting and challenging in parties, which we predicted to be potentially “easy” and “avoidable” at the stage of the trip planning stage. It was not like that. These easy games turned out to be a good one for us. Starting with the final batches of the approach road under our tournament. Lower sector of the English road to kick in many places of the tunnel in tree snow. Wonder where all this snow came from?

Trango is a great sail that accumulates snow like a great pour, everything slips through the wall in the form of giant dust avalanche down to the base of the wall.

After a few days of climbing in changing conditions, we finally reached the middle of the wall, where the scale finally began to enjoy its formations. The English way is perfect. We chose her because she offers a lot of classic climbing, and it was amazing for us to be able to climb this amazing tournament like this.

After eight days, we reached a height of over 5700m, there was about 500 meters of road left to the summit. We felt that it would work…. All we needed was some luck. Unfortunately, the information about Karakorum’s deep low approaching caused us to make a decision to withdraw from the wall. It was hard for us to slide down the day, probably the best weather we’ve had in a couple of weeks.

Our decision was right, what we were convinced of in the coming days after we reached the base. In this bad weather as it turned out and there was something to do. More than a week of precipitation, wind and simply beautiful conditions, the tents wanted to fly away and similar attractions. The biggest earthquake was probably, which caused a huge avalanche of the avalanche once on the right of the base and once on the left. One of them we got knocked down, the snow dust blown away a lot of fear.

So, we couldn’t make it to Trango in the winter, but the experience we collected will hopefully bring in the future. What we experienced in the wall, even without entering the top has value in itself.

At the end, he appreciates the contribution and support of all those who played any role in this venture.

He says “It was a great climb for what thank you guys Maciej Kimel Michal Krol !

Thank you to everyone who helped us organize this not easy adventure and the people who supported us.”
