Kharut Pyramid is a challenging glaciated 6000m peak in the heart of the Karakoram, with views just across the glacier of the Abruzzi ridge of K2.
Trip Detail
All camps on mountain will be stocked and pitched in advance, with the route fixed in places deemed necessary by the Sherpa climbing team and Luke.
Base Camp
Our base camp at Kharut Pyramid BC will be fully stocked with a variety of meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with snacks. We will have bucket showers in camp, two pit toilets, and each member will have their own roomy 2 person Mountain Hardwear tent. The purpose of a base camp is for you to have a place to recover, and relax, and have space from the mountain to collect your thoughts, gather your energy reserves, and move to climbing on the mountain. We will make two rotations on the mountain before making our summit bid. A rotation entails climbing on the peak, spending nights in established and stocked camps, and then returning to our base camp for a hot shower, fresh meals, and relaxing. Our goal as a guide service is to provide a climb that keeps you strong, physically healthy, and mentally prepared for your summit.
