Difficulty to climb
Broad Peak Central is comparatively easier to climb than other mountains like Mt.K2, Nanga Parbat as there are no or very less technical climbing required to climb this mountain. But this doesn’t mean, climbing Broad Peak Central should be underestimated. Only experienced and well-prepared climbers can climb this mountain. The climbers have to go past the neverending steep slopes which get more and more dangerous as the climbers climb upwards. Besides these technical challenges, there are chances of avalanches during the climb that can be fatal. The climbers also have to cross the ridge to move from one summit to another as there are 5 summits within the Broad Peak which will cost them more time.
