Asia, Himalayas, The American Alpine Club

Publication Year: 1938.

The American Alpine Club has received permission to send a small expedition to the Karakoram. A party of six climbers will leave New York early in April, follow the route of the Duke of the Abruzzi from Srinagar to the Baltoro Glacier, and camp at the foot of K2. The object will be to complete the latter’s reconnaissance of the ridges of the mountain, and, weather permitting, to make an attack on the summit.
