Re: mighty

Thank you so much rizwan for your nice comments and vote. This is not K2 southwest face as I write earlier. This is the Gasherbrum-IV westface. I have just changed the title of the photo.
Best regards, Afzal

Re: mighty

You have taken many photos of mountains located at Biafo, hisper glaciers and other mountainous areas of Pakistan. That mean you have well walking experience in the high mountainous areas of Pakistan. I hope that you will fell no difficulty or problem at Baltoro glacier too.

New Angle

I don't think I've seen a photo of K2 from this perspective. Well done Afzal!

Re: New Angle

Thanks Josh Lewis for your nice comments and vote. This is not K2, this is Gasherbrum-IV. I have wrongly mentioned the name K2 instead of Gasherbrum-IV.

Big piece of steep rock

A different angle on K2. From where was this taken?

Re: Big piece of steep rock

Thanks for your comments and vote. Due to my mistake I have mentioned the photo name K2 instead of Gasherbrum-IV.

Just spetacular, the best mountain for photos and you get it perfectly! Breath taking shot, I would love to get at least that close for a photo and experience the moment.

Gasherbrum IV

It is realy nice photo! But I think it is definitely not K2. I believe it is Gasherbrum IV. Compare with this:

Re: Gasherbrum IV

I think you`re right

Re: Gasherbrum IV

Thanks for looking at my photos. You are right, this is not K2, and this is Gasherbrum-IV.

Another great photo of yours, Afzal!!

But I also compared your photo very carefully with the one Plizi indicated and came to the same conclusion - I think this is Gasherbrum IV.

Re: Another great photo of yours, Afzal!!

Thanks Eric! for pointing out my mistake. I will editing the photo caption.

Best Peak Ever!

Another superb and unusual shot of G-IV, my favorite peak in all the world! How many have summitted? Darn few! And they all have names that speak volumes: Bonatti & Mauri via the great Cassin, Kurtyka, Child and a very few others - truly awe-inspiring! Thanks, Afzal!

to post!
