Introduction
The Amin Brakk is one of the most impressive rock monoliths in the Karakorum and on the planet. Despite the not extreme altitude (about 6000 meters, although it appears a little lower on the maps), it is the real protagonist of this remote corner of Pakistan. Its west face looks like a torpedo twelve hundred meters high and terribly vertical. Indeed, the first part presents a more unique than rare case of overhanging slabs. The very compact “belly” that rises from the rotten and icy basal rocks does not in fact have the appearance of something that can be climbed free by a human being, although a system of cracks that crosses it cannot be excluded.
The peak is most difficult too as compare of Trango Towers), generally quoted as 5,850m but thought possibly higher. In 1996, the very experienced Spanish big wall climber, Jon Lazkano, together with Adolfo Madinabeitia and Jose Carlos Tamayo made a capsule style attempt on the 1,200m granite face of unclimbed Amin Brakk (c5,750m).
Amin Nawaz history same as Amin Braq for the British. Generally quoted as 5,700m but thought possibly higher, the Nawaz Brakk first saw the wall by Lazkano, when he attempted a line on the adjacent North West Face of Nawaz Brakk during possibly the first serious climbing expedition to this hidden glacier basin. Incidentally, both teams named the twins peaks after their respective cooks; Amin for the Spanish and Nawaz for the British.f
