Gasherbrum VI. Maria Luisa Ercalani led this expedition about which we were able to obtain no details. On the approach march a low-altitude porter on May 9 fell off a bridge near Chapko and was drowned. She claims to have climbed Gasherbrum VI (7003 meters, 22,975 feet) from the Duke of the Abruzzi Glacier. In Mountain 106 it states, “The likely route of ascent involves considerable objective dangers and steep ice and seems to have been achieved with no support whatsoever. Because of her age and sex, her activities were treated with incredulity by climbers in the vicinity and even more so by the Pakistanis.”
