Asia, Pakistan, Languta Barfi South
Languta Barfi South. The expedition of the Schorndorf section of the German Alpine Club (DAV) to the Rosh Gol was led by Siegfried Härer. They originally planned to try Saraghrar from the northern cwm and to follow the route the British had tried in 1958 and where they had lost one climber. Since one of the Japanese also climbing in the Rosh Gol was injured by rockfall in the couloir which leads up from the cwm, the Germans decided to make no further attempt here. After climbing a 5000-meter (over 16,400 feet) peak on Saraghrar’s southwest spur, they turned to the end of the valley. From the ridge connecting with the Langar group on August 5 Ernst Henniger, Frieder Gölz and Karl Golikow made the first ascent of Languta Barfi South (c. 21,310 feet) from Camp III on the connecting ridge. Other members were Werner Vollmer and Erich Schmid.
