Unclimbed Bondit Peak

Bondit Peak is indeed a popular destination for mountaineers and trekking enthusiasts, located in the Karakoram Range of Mountains in Pakistan. The stunning panoramic views from the summit make it an attractive and challenging climb for experienced mountaineers. The climb typically takes several days, starting with a trek through the beautiful landscapes and summer clearances of Kandey Village. During the trek, you will have the opportunity to experience the hospitality of the local people and learn about their culture and way of life. The climb itself involves technical rock and ice climbing, as well as navigating crevasses and steep snow slopes. Climbers must be in excellent physical condition and have prior experience in high-altitude mountaineering.

Summit Attempts:

Arriving at base camp in late June, the Hungarians first acclimatized by climbing a pristine, unnamed peak in the region. After a bivouac at 4,800 meters, they opened Hungarian Dances (50°, 5c, D), a rocky 600m route located on the east face of this summit which they chose to call Amanat Brak (from the name of the young son of their Pakistani cook) and that their altimeter measured 5,412 m.

A few days later, while they were attempting to climb another virgin summit in the Nangma Valley, bad weather appeared to block their way to the summit and above all to prevent any attempt at K6. The five climbers then turned to the mountains that rise on the western side of the nearby village of Khande and finally set their sights on Bondit Peak (5,980m).

“ Here is the never-climbed Bondit Peak, previously called Muntin Peak, the exact height of which is not even known. The only thing we knew about the mountain with its very impressive shapes was that it could reach almost 6,000 meters high and that several expeditions (including a New Zealand-Irish team and two Japanese teams) had attempted to climb it , so far without success. One of the Japanese teams failed in June this year, ” said the report from the Hungarians.

” We await to serve you our service and share our experience with you “
