This expedition to the Karakoram is a superb opportunity to climb a 7,000m peak in a fabulous range of mountains from the regular trekking routes. You will climb the mountain’s south east ridge. This is a long snow ridge with few sections of technical difficulty and little objective danger. This route was first attempted in 1906 by the American couple Fanny and William Bullock-Workman, who reached a very creditable high point of 6,700m. Karl Kramer's German expedition made the first successful ascent of the mountain by this route in 1955. From the summit of the mountain clear conditions result in tremendous views in all directions. The Nagar and Hunza peaks can be seen close by to the west, while Nanga Parbat lies to the south and K2 and the Baltoro peaks including K2 can be seen on the eastern horizon.
Spantik is suitable for mountaineers with snow and ice climbing experience to Scottish Grade II and Alpine PD+. You also need previous experience on glaciated mountains above 6,000m. You will carry your personal gear on the mountain and should expect your pack to weigh 15 - 18Kgs.
