Trango Towers, Pakistan
Located in the northernmost reaches of Pakistan, the Trango Towers, a family of rock towers soaring high above the Baltaro Glacier in the Gilgit-Baltistan region, are said by even the most seasoned of rock climbers to be among the most difficult vertical ascents in the world. Those who do make the ascent to the tallest of the peaks, the 20,608-foot-high Great Trango Tower, whose east face is the world’s greatest nearly vertical drop, are rewarded with spectacular views out over the surrounding glacial landscape.
