The Gasherbrum V is a 7147 m high mountain in the Gasherbrum group in the Karakoram .
location
It is located south of Gasherbrum IV in the main ridge , to which it is connected by a mountain ridge, and towers over the Upper Baltoro Glacier . A mountain ridge leads east from Gasherbrum V to Gasherbrum VI . Located on the northeast flank of the Southern Gasherbrumgletscher , on the northwest flank of the Western Gasherbrumgletscher .
Ascent history
On August 1, 1975, a Japanese expedition was the first to reach the 7,102 m high eastern summit.
The main summit was first climbed in 2014.
Surname
While the four highest Gasherbrum peaks have been designated by name and number since the 19th century, Gasherbrum V (like its neighbor G VI) was only considered the “summit in the south ridge of Gasherbrum IV”. The Swiss geology professor and Himalayan expert Günter Oskar Dyhrenfurth recommended giving this independent mountain its own name and, following his International Himalayan Expedition in 1934, suggested the name Gasherbrum V, which finally caught on.
Minor peaks
Between Gasherbrum V and IV there is a secondary peak of Gasherbrum V, which is called Gasherbrum V North West , in some maps also called Gasherbrum VII . The name of this summit no longer goes back to Dyhrenfurth.
