Gasherbrum I also known as Hidden Peak or K5 is the 11th highest peak on Earth. It is located on the border of China-Pakistan. Gasherbrum-I is part of the Gasherbrum massif located in the Karakorum region of the Himalaya. Gasherbrum is often claimed to mean Shining Wall, presumably a reference to the highly visible face of the neighboring peak Gasherbrum IV, but in fact, it comes from “rgasha” (beautiful) + “brum” (mountain) in Balti, hence it actually means “beautiful mountain.”
Gasherbrum-I was first climbed on July 5, 1958, by Pete Schoening and Andy Kauffman of an eight-man American expedition led by Nicholas B. Clinch. Richard K. Irvin, Tom Nevison, Tom McCormack, Bob Swift, and Gil Roberts were also members of the team.
