The Kanjut Sar is a 7760  m high mountain in the Karakorum . It belongs to the Hispar Muztagh , part of the Karakoram main chain in the Pakistani autonomous region of Gilgit-Baltistan .

location

Kanjut Sar I is located in the eastern part of Hispar Muztagh north of the Hispar glacier and south of the Shimshal valley. The northeastern Yutmaru Glacier, which merges with other glaciers in the area to form the Yutmaru Glacier and flows south to the Hispar Glacier, approaches its western wall . The south wall is the nutrient area of ​​the Khani Basa Glacier , which also flows into the Hispar. The north-northeast ridge of Kanjut Sar runs out towards the Shimshal valley and separates the Yukshin-Gardan glacier , which feeds on the north face of Kanjut Sar, from the Khurdoping glacier , which still flanks the east side of the mountain. Northern neighbors are the mountains Yutmaru Sar and Yukshin Gardan Sar , to the west, beyond the Yutmaru Glacier , are Pumari Chhish and Kunyang Chhish .

In the southeast, between the Khani Basi and Khurdoping glaciers, lies the 6,831  m high Kanjut Sar II . Although it rises up as an extension of the southeast ridge of Kanjut Sar I, due to a 5800  m high saddle between the two mountains and a resulting gap of 1031 meters, Kanjut Sar II is considered an independent mountain.

Ascent history

The Kanjut Sar I was first climbed on July 19, 1959 by Camillo Pellissier, a member of an Italian team led by Guido Monzino, from the south side. A Japanese expedition succeeded in first ascent of the west face in 1981. After three high camps were set up, three rope teams were able to reach the summit on August 4th, 5th and 6th.
