The Latok I Summit Expedition is one of the most formidable challenges in the Karakoram Range of Pakistan. Standing at 7,145 m (23,442 ft), Latok I is the highest peak of the Latok Group and is famous worldwide for its unclimbed North Ridge, one of the most sought-after and difficult alpine objectives on Earth.
Located in the Panmah Muztagh subrange, the Latok peaks rise dramatically above the Panmah and Choktoi Glaciers. Since the late 1970s, Latok I has attracted elite climbers from across the globe, with only a handful of successful ascents via alternative routes.
