Description

Towering above the Nangma Valley in the Karakoram mountain range is the Amin Brakk, or Great Tower.

The Nangma Valley offers an immense bundle of rock climbing opportunities and is one of the most popular and beautiful places in Pakistan.

Amin Brakk presents a rewarding challenge with complex and extended walls, which offer more challenging and technical climbs than the neighbouring Trango Towers.

The rocks here consist of schist and gneiss, yet most of Amin Brakk, which soars to 5,850 meters, is made of granite.

We’ll begin our expedition in the capital of Islamabad, which is the perfect springboard to head into the high mountains of northern Pakistan.

You’ll be able to get to know the city of Skardu in the Gilgit-Baltistan region, the gateway to the Karakoram mountains that rise above 8,000 meters. A true land of giants.

Among the 25-day expedition in northern Pakistan, approximately 18 days will be packed full of trekking and climbing to the peak and back.

The first recorded successful ascent of Amin Brakk was in 1999 when a Spanish team made up of Silvia Vidal, Pep Masip and Miguel Puigdomenech scaled the giant wall.

Get in touch now to reserve your place on an epic 25-day expedition to the Nangma Valley of Pakistan and rock climb the great Amin Brakk.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
