The Trivor is a 7577 m high mountain in Hispar Muztagh , a mountain range in the western Karakoram in the autonomous region of Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan .
location
The Trivor is located in the west of the Hispar Muztagh, north of the glacier tongue of the Hispar glacier . The main ridge of the Karakoram runs from Momhil Sar ( 7343 m ), the north-western neighbor, to the summit of Trivor and from there on to the northeast over Bularung Sar ( 7134 m ) to Distaghil Sar , the highest mountain of Hispar Muztagh at 7885 m .
To the north, the Momhil Glacier flows towards the Shimshal Valley . To the east of Trivor and Bularung Sar, the Kunyang Glacier flows south to the Hispar Glacier. The Trivor Glacier (also known as the "Gharesagletscher") flows westwards parallel to the valley of the Hispar River . The two valleys are separated by the Gharesa mountain ridge, which meets the Kunyang Glacier in the east and is connected to the south ridge of the Trivor in the northeast.
Ascent history
The first ascent of the summit was achieved by a British-American expedition in 1960. The British expedition leader Wilfrid Noyce and the American Jack Sadler reached the summit on August 17th. The route led over the northwest ridge, which they reached from the south over the Trivor glacier. The expedition team had set up six high camps between the base camp on the Trivor glacier and the summit.
31 years later there was the only further ascent to date. A Japanese team reached the saddle between the northwest ridge of the Trivor and the southeast ridge of the Momhil Sar from the north via the Momhil glacier. While the leader Toshifumi Onuki and Atsushi Endo reached the summit of the Trivor via the northwest ridge on August 30, 1991, the team failed at Momhil Sar at an altitude of about 7,000 meters.
