Gasherbrum I, also called Hidden Peak and originally surveyed as K5, straddles the border between Pakistan's Shigar District in Gilgit-Baltistan and Tashkurgan in China's Xinjiang region, part of the Gasherbrum Massif within the Karakoram range, reaching an elevation of about 8,080 meters, the eleventh-highest mountain in the world. It is a non-volcanic peak raised by the same continental collision that built the rest of the Karakoram, and it was first climbed on July 5, 1958 by Americans Pete Schoening and Andrew Kauffman, members of an eight-person expedition led by Nicholas Clinch, using supplementary oxygen. This entity documents Gasherbrum I specifically as a geological formation, the eleventh-highest peak on Earth and the highest of the Gasherbrum group in the Karakoram.
