Godwin-Austen) was chosen, as Mount Everest for political reasons was inaccessible.
Eckenstein, who had accompanied Conway, further believed that K 2 was outside of
the Indian precipitation. Finally Eckenstein knew the country from his former visit.
Regarding the precipitation Pfannl says:

Alle Niederschläge kommen von Südwesten. Beim Hinaufziehen durch die Täler der
Hauptkette, die Kaschmir vom Indusgebiete trennt, werden sie durch die Bergfahrt und
auf den ausgedehnten Gletschern derart abgekühlt, dass sie einen grossen Teil ihres
Wassergehaltes fallen lassen müssen; sie kommen dann in der verhältnismässig niederen
Zone zwischen dieser und der Mustaghkette infolge der eintretenden Erwärmung als sehr
trockene Luft in Betracht, um erst beim Auftreffen auf die etwa um 10,000 Fuss höhere
und noch weit mehr vergletscherte Mustaghkette wieder so abgekühlt zu werden, dass sie
neuerlich Nebel, schwere Wolken und in den Hochlagen massenhaften Neuschnee bilden.¹

On June 5th the expedition left Askole. After a few hours they had reached
the snout of the Biafo Glacier which, 200—150 m. thick, and coming from its side
valley, blocked the whole main valley. It presses the Braldu to the opposite side,
though the river holds its bed open, bounded by the 150 m. high glacier ice. On
the third day they reached a green oasis, three quarters of an hour below the Baltoro
Glacier. The place was called Paju.

June 9th, Dr. Pfannl and two other members started. Very soon the glacier
opens its front before them. At the northern side it is bounded by wild mighty
mountains. The party ascended the snout at the glacier gate near the northern side,
where the Braldu comes out, and crossed the moraine-covered glacier to the southern
side, which they followed for three days. Gigantic moraine walls prove that the ice
has reached much higher. The fourth day the glacier was again crossed and the
northern side was followed to the seventh day. The eighth day they turned from
the Baltoro to the Godwin-Austen Glacier and had a first view of K 2. They were
at the height of Mont Blanc, and some 4,000 m. still remained to the top of the K 2.
The natives call it Chogo-ri »the Great Mount». The ninth day they had reached
the southern side of K 2.

No electrical phenomena in the atmosphere were observed. The differences of
temperature are enormous. One day they observed —25° C early in the morning,
and +38° C at noon. At the place where Conway supposed a saddle to be situated
in K 2 — Broad Peak Ridge — the party reached, on the 10th day, the Firnbruch
between the two peaks. To the N. N. E. an extensive Firnbecken stretches itself.
The ridge of K 2 stretches in the same direction. The N. N. E. saddle was called
a Grenzsattel as in the Alps; its height was 20,550 feet. On its north side a mighty
ice-stream was found. Different excursions were made to examine the
