Hi all,
Is there another hill in Pakistan other than the 8000ers+Spantik that usually has teams fixing ropes on it?
Just a rookie climber who went on a introductory mountaineering trip with a group of Shimshali guides (Shams Alpine) and had a great time. They wont touch Nanga Parbat though for reasons to do with the terrorist massacre 5 years ago.
Just want a place where I can do some extensive 'climbing'/jumaring on fixed ropes. Even with the permit costs nanga parbat is a good deal for a guided climb compared to other mountains. Obviously I have no aspirations whatsoever of summiting, ever.
Don't think there's another hill with teams fixing ropes thats also reasonably quick to approach aside from Spantik, but Spantik doesnt appeal to me as its mostly very high altitude walking.
Every other destination (eg, Trango Towers) looks extremely technical and are patronised by professional alpinists who dont need to 'prepare routes'...
