 In September 2017 four friends traveled to the Karakoram to attempt the first ascents of 3 peaks around 6000m, but with only 18 days to travel, acclimatise and return to the UK it was a tight schedule. The team trekked through dramatic canyons on paths blasted into the cliffs, summitted two peaks (Yad Sar and PK 5855) and marvelled at the valley's impressive potential for future expeditions.
