Charakusa Trek
Charakusa valley having both wild rock towers in the lower valley as well as jaw-dropping alpine objectives of the upper valley, all accessible from a single base camp. The lower valley is surrounded by Sulu (ca 5950m), Beatrice (5800m), and Naisa Brakk (5200m) on the north side of the glacier and Fathi Brakk, Haji Brakk (5950m), and Farhod Brakk (ca 5300m) on the south side. The peaks on the north side can be climbed as day trips from Charakusa base camp, while those on the south side a bit further away. North faces are serious rock climbs, south faces a lot gentler.
The main draw of the valley are the high peaks surrounding the upper Charakusa glacier: K7 West, K7, Link Sar, Hassan, K6, K6 West and Kapura. Particularly K6 and K7 have gotten a lot of attention by strong climbers during the recent years.
