Broad Peak 8048m is part of the Gasherbrum massif on the border of Pakistan and China. It is located about 8 kilometers (5 miles) from K2. Broad Peak was originally named K3 right after the naming of K2 but on closer inspection by a later party, it was discovered that the summit was over 1.5 kilometers (1 mile) long, thus "Broad Peak".

Climbing history:
The first ascent of Broad Peak was made on June 9, 1957 by Fritz Wintersteller, Marcus Schmuck, Kurt Diemberger and Hermann Buhl of an Austrian expedition led by Marcus Schmuck. A first attempt by the team was made on May 29 where Fritz Wintersteller and Kurt Diemberger reached the fore peak (8,030 m). This was also accomplished without the aid of supplemental oxygen or high altitude porters and without base camp support.
