The Urdok I (also Urdok Kangri I ) is a 7250  m high, relatively independent main peak in the Karakoram . It is the highest peak of the Urdok ridge and therefore part of the Gasherbrum group .

There is very different information about the height of the mountain. Depending on the map, the altitude varies between 7200  m and 7426  m .

Ascent history

The Urdok I was climbed for the first time in 1975 by an Austrian expedition with Hanns Schell . This expedition actually had the Hidden Peak as its destination, but made a detour beforehand and climbed this seven-thousander. The team included Hanns Schell's wife Liselotte as well as Robert Schauer , Helmut Prevedel, Herbert Zefferer and Karl Hub. The way led them on the normal route in the ascent to Hidden Peak to Camp 3 and then on to Urdok I. On August 4, 1975 Hanns and Liselotte Schell, Robert Schauer, Herbert Zefferer and Karl Hub reached the summit. A few days later, on August 11th, Schell, Zefferer and Schauer stood on the summit of Hidden Peak (third ascent).
