Gasherbrum I (Urdu: ‎ ; ), surveyed as K5 and also known as Hidden Peak, is the 11th highest mountain in the world at 8080 m above sea level.
 It is located on the Pakistani–Chinese border in Gilgit–Baltistan region of Pakistan and Xinjiang region of China.
 Gasherbrum I is part of the Gasherbrum massif, located in the Karakoram region of the Himalaya.
 Gasherbrum is often claimed to mean "Shining Wall", presumably a reference to the highly visible face of the neighboring peak Gasherbrum IV; but in fact it comes from "rgasha" (beautiful) + "brum" (mountain) in Balti, hence it actually means "beautiful mountain."
Castle Rock Mountain (12406 ft ) is in the Beartooth Mountains in the U.S. state of Montana.
 The peak is one of the tallest in the Beatooth Mountains, the tenth-tallest in Montana and is in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, on the border of Custer and Gallatin national forests.
 The nearest taller mountain to Castle Rock Mountain is Castle Rock Spire, 0.65 mi east.
 Castle Rock Mountain is flanked by the Sundance Glacier to the north and the Castle Rock Glacier to the south.
K2 (Urdu: ‎ ), also known as Mount Godwin-Austen or Chhogori (Balti and Urdu: ‎ ), is the second highest mountain in the world, after Mount Everest, at 8611 m above sea level.
 It is located on the China-Pakistan border between Baltistan, in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang, China.
 K2 is the highest point of the Karakoram range and the highest point in both Pakistan and Xinjiang.
Gasherbrum (Urdu: گاشر برم‎ ) is a remote group of peaks located at the northeastern end of the Baltoro Glacier in the Karakoram range of the Himalaya on the border of the Chinese-administered Shaksgam Valley and the Gilgit-Baltistan territory of Pakistan.
 The massif contains three of the world's 8,000 metre peaks (if Broad Peak is included).
 Although the word "Gasherbrum" is often claimed to mean "Shining Wall", presumably a reference to the highly visible face of Gasherbrum IV, it comes from "rgasha" (beautiful) + "brum" (mountain) in Balti, hence it actually means "beautiful mountain".
Burji La (or Burji Pass) is a natural pass in mountains between Skardu and Deosai National Park in Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan.

Gasherbrum III (Urdu: گاشر برم -3‎ ; ), surveyed as K3a, is a summit in the Gasherbrum massif of the Baltoro Muztagh, a subrange of the Karakoram on the border between Xinjiang, China and Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
 It is situated between Gasherbrum II and IV.
Machulo La is a mountain view point which is considered the most easiest way to view some of the most highest peaks of Himalayas and Karakoram mountains in a single glance such as K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum-I, Gasherbrum-II, Gasherbrum III, Gasherbrum IV, K7, K6 and Nanga Parbat.
Hassan Sadpara PP (born Hassan Asad; April 1963 – 21 November 2016) was a Pakistani mountaineer and adventurer from Skardu in GB, Pakistan.
 He is the first Pakistani to have climbed six eight-thousanders including the world's highest peak Everest (8848m) besides K2 (8611m), Gasherbrum I (8080m), Gasherbrum II (8034m), Nanga Parbat (8126 m), Broad Peak (8051m).
 He is also credited for summiting five of the eight-thousanders without using supplemental oxygen.
 Contrary to initial reports, Hassan Sadpara clarified that he used supplemental oxygen during his Everest ascent due to bad weather.
 He died due to cancer on 21 November 2016 in Rawalpindi.
