Introduction:
Gasherbrum III is the third highest peak among the shining walls of the Karakoram mountain range and is situated between Gasherbrum II and IV. Until 1974, it has remained the highest unclimbed peak.
It was the highest unclimbed peak upto 1974, before a Polish women’s expedition, under the leadership of Mrs. Wanda Rutkiewics, climbed it on the 11th August, 1975. The women did the real job and it was they who touched the summit.
