Amin Brakk Nangmah Valley Pakistan

Overview

Amin Brakk Nangma valley is one of the most well known and beautiful rock glory Karakorum Region. The mount Amin Peak is situated in inaccessible Northern Area of Karakorum Baltistan. There were more attempts during the summer of 1999 and remarkably two of these were brought to a successful conclusion. West face of Amin Brakk (generally quoted as 5850m but thought possibly higher) close to the head of a side branch of a Nangma Valley.

Amin Brakk was first attempted in 1996 by the Basque climbers, Jon Lazkano, when he attempted a line on the adjacent North West Face of Nawaz Brakk during possibly the first serious climbing expedition to this hidden peak. It is one of the most complex and extended walls, harder than Trongo Tower. The face formed the target for a group of British climbers who first saw the wall during a visit the previous year.

Great Tower First Ascent was by American climbers. Changi Tower also is part of Amin massif. First ascent by Paul Weber and Ned Norton who climbed a route on the Changi Tower. A Women's team of Abby Watkins, Vera Wong and Nicola Woodford from Australian and New Zealand also made first ascents in the Nangma Changi Tower.

Most of the rock is both granite, gneiss, or schist, however, the predominant rock type is granite. There are also many other unclimbed peaks in the Nangma Valley to make new routes.
