Gasherbrum I

Also known as Gasherbrum I, it is the 11th highest peak on Earth. It is also known as K5.
Gasherbrum I was baptised K5 (the fifth peak of Karakorum) by T.G. Montgomery in 1856 when he saw the peaks of the Karakorum range for the first time. In 1892, William Martin Conway gave it another name, Hidden Peak, referring to its extreme remoteness.
