Rockclimbing Hell
(Left to Right) Paiju Peak (Trango II?), The Trango Monk, Trango Nameless Tower (6,239 m), and the mass of the Great Trango (6,286 m) on the northern lateral moraine of the Baltoro Glacier in the Baltoro Muztagh Range.
Nameless Tower is the world's steepest granite face. Some daredevil tried basejumping off it a couple of years ago. The summits have been so few, that even the elevation data is uncertain!
Climbing up the Namless Tower for example, can involve 90 pitches (of tents). The tent flowers open and you sleep essentially hanging down next to the Nameless' vertical walls!
