Ghorhil Sar, Correction
Pakistan, Karakoram, Lupghar Group
Author: Lee Harrison.
Climb Year: N/A.
Publication Year: 2017.
In 2006, Lee Harrison and Peter Thompson made the first ascent of a peak they named Ghorhil Sar (ca 5,800m) on the southern rim of the Lupghar Valley (a.k.a. Lupgar, AAJ 2007). They reached the rim via an east-facing ridge and then headed up to a high point. However, after returning to the Lupghar mountains in 2015 (AAJ 2016), Harrison feels they were wrong to describe Ghorhil Sar as a “summit” and that it is no more than a point on the ridge.
