One more alpine highlight, one less blank spot on the world map of mountains. The Czechs Zdenek Hak, Radoslav Groh and Jaroslav Bansky achieved the first ascent of the 7,453-meter-high Muchu Chhish in the Karakoram in northern Pakistan – without bottled oxygen.
Previously, it was considered the second highest unclimbed mountain in the world, but the highest accessible: the 7,570-meter-high Gankhar Puensum on the border between Bhutan and China is closed to climbers. In Bhutan, the mountains are considered the abode of the gods and are therefore not allowed to be climbed. Since 2004, only trekking has been permitted in the Himalayan state.
