The rising sun catch Great Trango Tower and Paiyu Peak, with Cathedral Tower in the foreground and Nameless Tower at the back.

The Trango Towers are a group of dramatic granite spires located on the north side of the Baltoro Glacier, in Baltistan, a district of the Northern Areas of Pakistan.The Towers offer some of the largest cliffs and most challenging rock climbing in the world. The highest point in the group is the summit of Great Trango Tower, 6,286 m (20,608 ft).

    Great shot, well done (especially for getting up so early there). Where were you camped at the time?

  • Hi John, thanks. I think this shot was taken when I’d camped at Urdukas, was a while ago now and I never was very good at making notes though so I can’t be 100%.
