This stunning trek will be an exploratory wilderness journey traversing all, or part of, the Biafo and Hispar Glaciers taking in the picturesque Snow Lake along the way and ending in the fabled Hunza Valley.  We hope to include an ascent of a 6000 metre peak if conditions allow.  From Askole we will trace the first few stages of the K2 trek before veering off into the truly remote wilderness of the Karakorum region north of the Baltoro Glacier.  Route planning is currently underway and participants have the opportunity to shape that planning.  It is definitely planned to visit Snow Lake and cross the Hispar La (5151m) but our initial access route to Snow Lake will depend on conditions and could see us taking a more remote and more technical approach.  Whichever route is taken, the views of the Ogre (7285m), Latok peaks and the countless other peaks of the Karakorum are breath taking. On some stages of our trek it will be necessary to employ the use of ropes to safely negotiate the many crevasses encountered, and some nights will be spent camping on snow and ice. Participants on this trek will need a high level of fitness, a love of the high mountains and absolute remote wilderness.
