SHALTAR PEAK HOPER(5982)
Shaltar Peak is a very accessible peak in the Hunza Valley in the western Karakoram. From the summit there are fine views of the surrounding 7000m peaks such as Diran, Rakaposhi, Spantik and Ultar.
The height of Shaltar Peak is given as 5982m on the commonly used Swiss map. However the Soviet 1:100,000 map gives a height of 5730m and Google Earth
The first ascent of Shaltar Peak was by a British expedition in 1988, climbing the east side of the mountain from the Barpu Glacier.
Pete Thompson and Kees Dykwell made the second ascent in July 1989, climbing a new route up the north ridge.
