Trango Towers

The Trango Towers are a family of rock towers situated in the Gilgit-Baltistan region, in the northern part of Pakistan. The Towers have some of the world's largest cliffs and offer some of the most challenging big wall climbing opportunities.  The highest point within the group is the summit of Great Trango Tower at 20,623 feet, the east face of which features the world's greatest nearly vertical drop.
