Peak Highlights ;
Shipton Spire Introduction;
Shipton Spire is an impressive rock formation located near Trango Tower in the Karakoram Mountains. It’s just three miles away from Trango Tower and other challenging peaks. You can find it above the meeting point of the North and South Hainabroq Glaciers, a short two-hour walk from the Trango Towers Group on Upper Trango Glacier. The spire rises magnificently from the glacier junction, attracting climbers from all over the world with its stunning and intimidating walls.
Climbing Shipton Spire is tough, but the rock quality is excellent. Its main route is a 29-pitch, 4,400-foot big-wall climb, with pitches rated 6c, 7b, and 7b+. This offers climbers the best technical challenge they can find on a granite tower in the Karakoram
Climbing History;
Shipton Spire’s climbing history is filled with remarkable achievements:
1987: British-American team Greg Child, Tom Hargis, and Doug Chabot completed the first ascent.
2000: Slovenian climbers Tadej Golob and Matej Kladnik established a new route on the East Face.
2004: Russian climbers Alexander Odintsov and Dmitry Pavlenko amazed with a speedy ascent via the Slovenian Route.
2012: American climbers Kyle Dempster and Hayden Kennedy achieved a groundbreaking free ascent of the East Face.
These feats showcase the evolution of climbing techniques and the enduring allure of Shipton Spire as a symbol of perseverance and adventure in the Karakoram.
