2Nanga Parbat in Gilgit-Batistan
Source: Link
This 26,657-foot mountain is known as the “Man Eater”, though it is actually a craggy monster with an enormous ridge of ice and rock. Its peak is the ninth-highest in the world, with its southern side featuring the tallest mountain face on Earth. It claimed 31 lives before being conquered in 1953 by Austrian Herman Buhl. Nanga Parbat, the westernmost peak of the Himalayas, in the Diamer district, south of the Indus River, Pakistan is the second most distinctive peak of the Himalayas, after Everest. “Naked Mountain”, as the mountain is otherwise called, is an extraordinary, glazed, dramatic peak, with an immediate rise from its base. Climbing Mount Nanga Parbat is difficult and dangerous, due to its very steep and challenging slopes. It is a mountain that has three faces, but the highest face in the world is the southern face Nanga Parbat. The peak is a three-dimensional granite rock pyramid with a large slope that does not hold snow, but they direct it to the numerous glaciers at its base. Numerous attempts were made to climb it, but many of them failed miserably, such as that of 1895 in the face of Diamir, where three climbers lost their lives, or that of 1934, where nine climbers lost their lives. Thus, not unjustly, Mount Nanga Parbat, also known as Mount Man Eater, is considered one of the ten most dangerous mountains. Click the next ARROW to see the next image!
