location

South face of the Pasu Sar

The Pasu Sar is located west of the Hunza Valley in the autonomous region of Gilgit-Baltistan , the northernmost part of Pakistan . Its summit is about 7 km from Batura Sar and is on the main ridge of Batura Muztagh. Its eastern neighbor on the main ridge is the Shispare , and the Sangemarmar Sar follows its south ridge . The Pasu II is east of the main summit. Here the ridge divides into a northern arm, which descends to the Hunza valley, and a southern arm, which is the extension of the Karakoram main chain over Shispare and Ultar Sar and which also drops to the Hunza valley. Between the two arms, the Passu Glacier flows east to the Hunza Valley . The Batura Glacier flows north of the northern arm and the main summit .

Ascent history

The Pasu Sar was first climbed on August 7, 1994 by the Germans Dirk Naumann , Ralf Lehmann , Volker Wurnig and Max Wallner . Ascent and descent took place on skis. The planned ascent of the Pasu Diar (Pasu II) failed because of the bad weather.

The Pasu Diar was first climbed over the southeast ridge in 1978.
