Gondogoro Pass is a 5585 meter high mountain pass in the Hushe Valley Baltistan region of 25 km south of the world's second-highest peak, K2.

I love this guy. He is quintessentially Pakistani, his story even more so. Born with nothing, no one knew his name and then he comes out of nowhere to claim the first ever Winter Ascent on Nangaparbat. My....Dear....God....
And then of course he gets no recognition for it in Pakistan. 99% of the people here couldn't imagine the scale of his achievement.
His climbs should be completely funded by the government. And he should be pushed to become the first Pakistani to complete all the 8000ers. He's already got multiple summits on five of them. If only we took care of our heroes.
