Gasherbrum II Expedition

After extensive research and planning, the Austrian expedition team, led by Mr. Fritz Moravec with his climbing members Josef Larch and Hans Willenpart, successfully made the first ascent on July 8, 1956. via Southwest ridge. They set up a temporary camp at an altitude of 7700 meters before making the final push to summit. After the first ascent, the mountain has witnessed both victories and setbacks. There have been some notable records like fast ascents and some make first ascent without supplemental Oxygen,Winter Ascent and Ski Descent.

- On Feb 2,2011 Cory Richards, Simone Moro and Denis Urubko became the first successful winter ascent of G2.
- Andrzej Bargiel from Poland in 2019 skied down from Gasherbrum II.
- Reinhold Messner, Jean-Christophe Lafaille, and Ralf Dujmovits have summited in alpine styles (lightweight, minimal or no camp setup, fast speed with higher risk).

Satori Adventures Climbing Period will be around 30days, while total days of this expedition will be around 53 days. We fixed three camps on mountains above the advanced base camps. Our guides trust that building 3 camps above Basecamp will increase the odds that climbers will make the summit.Camp I will be around 6,000 m, Camp II will be around 6,800 m and Camp III will be around 7,400 m . Camp I,II and III are also called High Camps, where there will be minimal but essential provisions.

We operate our expedition in the Himalayas with well-trained Sherpas of western standard born and raised in the foothills of the Himalayas. Their excellence and glorious climbing history need no more explanation. Our Sherpas have climbed Everest and other peaks in the Himalayas of all height multiple times, and prove themselves to be the best climbers and Leader/guide.

Our Sherpas will make sure that cooperation with other Sherpas from different companies and Base Camp organizations is intact. It is essential that all climbing teams work together in the Himalayas with proper contribution from all operators on the tasks such as route fixing and ensuring safety of climbers from Base to the summit. Our Sherpas lead in these efforts.

We intend to rely on a highly skilled team, premium-quality safety and mountaineering gear, fixed ropes on exposed or hazardous parts of the climb, and a cautious, gradual acclimatization schedule to reduce our overall risk.

Our logistical collaborators in Pakistan have over ten years of experience in expedition services, and people recognize them among the top organizers and support teams in the region. Both our climbing and base camp crews possess extensive expertise, having facilitated many expeditions to peaks exceeding 6000m, 7000m, and 8000m in Pakistan, Nepal, Tibet, and China.

We provide a dedicated chef, a seasoned climbing Sherpa from Nepal, and use experienced Pakistani high-altitude porters who have a long history of operating on 8000-meter peaks. Our support personnel play a crucial role in fixing lines, stocking camps, and ensuring the team's safe ascent. We will have a full kitchen crew focused on preparing nutritious, plentiful, and flavorful meals at both base camp and advanced base camp.
