Батура Сар тауы: Пакистандағы ең биік шыңдардың бірі

Mountain in Pakistan
NOTOC

Batura Sar , also referred to as Batura I, is the 25th highest mountain on Earth and the 10th highest in Pakistan. It is the highest peak of the Batura Muztagh, which is the westernmost subrange of the Karakoram range. It forms the apex of the Batura Wall, a continuously high part of the backbone of the Batura Muztagh. Alternate forms of the name of this peak are Batura, Batura I, and Batura I East.

Batura Sar and the Batura Wall lie near the middle of the Batura Muztagh between Shindar shander valley Nagar and Gojal Hunza, which is the only part of the Karakoram which is west of the Hunza Nagar River. The river curves around the southwest, west, and northwest sides of the Batura Muztagh. Batura wall bisects Gojal hunza and Bar Valley Nagar. In turn, the Upper Hunza (Gojal Valley) lies in the Hunza District of the Gilgit Baltistan.

Batura Sar is the 25th highest mountain in the world and the second most prominent peak in the Karakoram range. lists an ascent in 1984, but this is contradicted by Neate's book, so the status of this is unclear. The year 1988 saw the third or fourth ascent of Batura Sar, by another Polish German expedition, led by Piotr Młotecki. They used the first ascent route; however, they failed in an additional goal of reaching Batura I West. The Himalayan Index lists five other failed attempts on the peak; these include a winter attempt by an Austrian group in 1981. However, there seems to have been little or no activity on the north side of the mountain since the 1950s.

The first ascent route is outlined above. The first ascent party reported ice up to 50 degrees,
but they do not record the use of any extensive fixed ropes. They noted the weather and repeated storms as the primary difficulty.
