From his Camp VI, 18,602 feet, the Duke examined the eastern slopes and
region of K 2. From some objects left at camp X of Guillarmod seven years before,
one could argue an average yearly speed of 702 feet for the glacier.
From the east, K 2 proved to be a mountain of ice. On June 22nd Sella
took a panorama from a point near the Sella Pass and got a general aspect of the
region east of the Baltoro Basin, »a region into which but one single explorer, Sir
Frances Younghusband, has ever penetrated, and he only for a short distance,
in 1889. As far as the eye can see, there is a succession of glacier-filled valleys
and rocky and snowy chains.»
On June 14th they started to the camp of Windy Gap, VII, at the beginning
of the Godwin-Austen Glacier.
Windy Gap, 20,449 feet, is the limit in the direction of the hydrographic system
of the Baltoro basin and of the Indus. From this side the K 2 »looked like another
mountain entirely; and of all the manifold aspects of the colossus this is certainly
the most imposing, the richest and boldest in design». N. E. of Windy Gap they could
see a chain running N. W.—S. E., and beyond it still another chain, higher and more
important.
From a point 21,650 feet high, near Staircase Peak, the Duke took a good
photo of K 2.
Having explored the K 2, its glaciers and surrounding ranges on the S., W.
and E., the Duke summarizes his observations thus.
He found K 2 to form a
quadrangular pyramid, the corners being formed by four main crests meeting at right
angles the south-west and north-east, the north-west and south-east. The first two are pro-
longed in long and powerful buttresses, proportionate in size to the mass which they sustain.
The other two are cut off short and precipitously . . . .
K 2 has only one peak. It is not to be climbed.
On June 30th they went south, walking on the moraines of the Godwin-Austen
Glacier.
Up to nearly 18,000 feet some alpine plants were found in sheltered places.
On July 6th they started southwards on the Upper Baltoro. At the foot of
the Golden Throne, Camp XI, 16,637 feet, was chosen as base camp for a new
campaign. Magnificent photos were taken of the Mustagh Tower, which seems to be
a monolith, »a rocky mass of a single formation, without traces of breaks or divisional
planes — no other, of any comparable size, is known to exist on the globe».
The limit of the eternal snow is, in the Western Kara-korum, put at 18,000
feet by Drew and Burrard.
From the base Camp at the foot of the Golden Throne, the Duke began his
operations upon Bride Peak.
