I Traveled To The Karakoram Range Twice To Capture Its Shapes, Lines, And Textures (30 Pics)
"In the face of the power of the mountains, it is easier to discover yourself, or at least the fact that most of the borders and fears are just a handicap of our mind, beyond which freedom begins…” – J. Teller.
The vertical walls of Trango Group are a dream of every climber and mountain lover. In 2019 and 2021 I visited the Karakoram Range to find out why. It turned out to be also a landscape of the photographer's dream. My dream. Shapes, lines, textures never ceased to amaze me. I could forever stare at those rocky sculptures. Endless photographic inspiration, each second giving me a chance to capture it in a different way. The decision to move forward to the next camp was one of the hardest during both expeditions. Leaving home is never easy.
Here are 72 images showing the uniqueness of Trango Group.

"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. The great eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash, and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly."
In 2008 I hiked with a group up the Baltoro glacier to Concordia . It is stunningly beautiful. One of many memories of that region was going past a village and seeing apricots drying in the sun on a house roof.
To me this looks like a place you'd see gnomes and trolls and goliaths and other semi fairy tale mysteries
Beautiful and I enjoyed them. Kept hearing " Night on Bald Mountain ". I hate to admit it but I'd rather view these photographs than actually be there. As a cold adverse flat lander I'd probably last about five minutes.
Thanks Kenny! Nah, it's not that hard to survive there. If you can stand living in a tent for 2 weeks in not-so-clean environment you can last at least 6 minutes.

One of my favourite photographers! Did you know that Galen Rowell was actually the first person to climb Trango? (along with 3 more climbers)

These are my stone cathedrals
