They ascended the Sosbon Glacier to its col, 17,000 feet; north of it is the
Cornice Glacier which has a col to the Biafo Glacier, and is separated from the
Hispar Glacier by an unbroken granite wall.
In the middle of August 1903 they climbed the Pyramid Peak to a height
of 23,394 feet.
The Pyramid-peak was entirely snow-bound, its apex being formed by a pointed,
sharply-defined cornice, which soared into the deep-blue sky like the curling crest of
a mighty wave about to break. Directly beneath the cornice is a tremendous precipice,
while on its east side the mountain falls in another precipice some 7000 feet to Basin
glacier below. This is a type of many high Karakoram peaks which end in similar
cornices pointing towards the north, and usually overhanging abrupt precipices.... The
direction in which they point is due to the prevalence of south and south-west winds.
Of the Kero Lungma Glacier they observed that it had »evidently diminished
greatly in size in recent times». Such was also the case with the Hucho Alchori.
Almost all glaciers visited by the Workmans showed evident signs of retreat
in recent years. A few more examples of the phenomenon may be given. They found
it to be no uncommon occurence that glaciers might recede from considerable distances
without leaving behind débris of any size. Such an example was given by the Chogo
Lungma which retreated 1,184 feet in 42 years, leaving a smooth river-bed below
it.¹ About the Shafat Glacier in the Nun Kun, on the other hand, it is said: »The
valley-bed immediately in front of it, though somewhat strewn with small stones,
bears no terminal moraine to indicate that the glacier has in recent times extended
lower down than at present....» The Z I Glacier of the same group had no terminal
moraine in 1906, and had been receding constantly and rather rapidly for some time.²
The journey described in the book just quoted began April 1906 from Srinagar,
and was the fifth trip of the Workmans. They now made a Himalayan snow and
glacier group the object of their researches. Passing Suru and crossing the Suru
River they camped at the foot of the Shafat Glacier 13,350 feet high, from where
they attacked the Nun Kun group. The Shafat Glacier was ascended, and Camp
Italia was situated 20,632 feet high on the Nun-Kun Plateau at the N. E. foot of
the highest Nun-Kun peak or Ser, 23,447 feet. Camp America on the same snow
plateau was at 21,300 feet, and was believed to be the highest point at which
mountaineers had passed a night. The Pinnacle Peak, 23,300 feet high, was ascended.
The Fariabad Glacier was found to end suddenly at the edge of the Z I Glacier. The
Chogo Lungma had, as mentioned above, retreated 1,184 feet in 42 years. Going
down the two last-mentioned glaciers they again ascended to the North-West Glacier.
The North-West Col had an altitude of 17,397 feet.
