“Hushe Pakistan Expedition Update:
“Members of the first native K2 expedition reached in Concordia. 5-member expedition led by mountaineer Taqi Hushe has vowed to make history to be Baltistan’s first native expedition to reach the top of the K2.
“The team had left Skardu on July 11, and arrived in Concordia on the 11th, incredibly fast in just 3 days hiking from Juhla camp; the last jeepable spot at the Penmah River Crossing and Baltoro in Askole K2 BC route..
“K2 was never escalated by any local Baltistan expedition, didn’t even try. Although individual summits were achieved by HAP with different expeditions. In 2004, during the golden jubilee celebrations of the first K2 settlement of 1954, Hushe Valley climbers, Muhammad Machulo and Hussain Ali Khan Machulo (Little Hussin) became the first local Balti climbers to reach the top of his homemade mountain..
“In 2014, EVK2CNR organized the joint expedition between Italy and Pakistan on the 60th anniversary of K2 promotion, and Mr. Taqi was also the leader of that successful expedition. Mr. Taqi started his mountain career in 1998/99 as a guide on Ghondoghoro Top’s rescue team. In 2013, he organized the first successful local expedition in Broad Peak on a fully self-help basis.
“Hushe, the local village closest to K2 and Concordia, is the latest human settlement toward the Mashabrum Glaciers, Ghondoghoro and Saraqsa of Southeast Karakoram. Surrounded by rock towers and snow-covered peaks, Hushe is a mini world of silence, beauty and peace where men and mountain meet every day.
“This is the first time a Pakistani bank has sponsored a mountaineering expedition in K2, which is being greatly appreciated by all stake holders for promoting tourism in Pakistan, especially in Gilgit-Baltistan.”
