K7 Peak, also known as K-Seven Peak, is a mountain located in the Karakoram Range of Pakistan. It is one of the highest peaks in the world, with an elevation of 6,934 meters (22,747 feet). The mountain is located in the remote and rugged region of the Karakoram, which is known for its challenging and unforgiving terrain.
K7 peak is located in the Saltoro and Masherbrum mountains. The nearby glaciers are Kaberi and Charakusa. A possible route to the summit is from Khapulo in Baltistan via Tagas, Dumsum, and Kaberi Glacier. Some maps show its height as 6,934 m, while others show it as 6,935 m.
The first ascent of K7 Peak was made in 1984 by a British expedition led by Alan Rouse. The team climbed the peak via the West Ridge, a difficult and technical route that requires advanced mountaineering skills. The climb took 14 days and required the use of fixed ropes and a number of difficult pitches.
