Located in Gilgit Baltistan, these granite spires pierce the air above the Baltoro Glacier in the subrange of the Karakoram range in Pakistan. Considered to be the most challenging rock climbing in the world, at the height of 6,286 m (20,608 ft.) they could possibly be the world’s greatest vertical drop.

Trango was first conquered in 1977, by a route that took climbers up the west face which is a combination of rock faces and ice ramps. The east face, the vertical side, was first conquered in 1984, not that long ago, the climbers never made it down alive. It was in 1992 when a climber not only made it to the top but also made it back down the east face of Trango Tower.

Have a look at this amazing tower.
