Ten days ago, the Spanish foursome of Marc Toralles, Bru Busom, Guillem Sancho, and Oriol Baro started their summit push to the 7,300m northwest summit of Saraghrar. They climbed via its southwest buttress, known as the Catalan route.
According to Toralles, Baro and Sancho turned around during the six-day, 2,000m ascent, but Toralles and Busom continued. They summited alpine style on Saraghrar’s Northwest II summit (7,200m).
They didn’t fully complete the southwest buttress route because they didn’t reach the primary northwest summit at 7,300m. However, they did manage the first repetition of the 1982 Catalan route.
Saraghrar is the fourth-highest peak in Pakistan’s Hindu Kush.
