Yawash Sar I-IV 2022 Expedition
Calendar IconSeptember - October 2022
Earth IconThe West Ghiddims Valley, Pakistan
Earth IconNicholas Hurndall Smith, Nigel Bassam, Tom Bell, Paul Winder, Ross Bell and Karim Hayat
This expedition hoped to make the first ascent of Yawash Sar I, a 6,258m peak which they accessed via the West Ghiddims Valley. Despite making three attempts on the peak; once by the south face which was turned back by rock/ice fall and once each by the SE and SW ridges which were abandoned due to loose rock, they were ultimately unsuccessful. However they did not end the expedition empty-handed. Expedition member Karim Hayat and Assistant Chef Waseem Shah made the first ascent of Pk5742 in alpine style at a grade of PD. Subsequently, Bassam, Smith and Hayat also made the ascent of Pk5798, again climbing alpine style via a route they considered to warrant PD+.
