Laila Peak
is a stunning mountain located in the Hushe Valley of the Karakoram range in Pakistan. It stands at an elevation of **6,096 meters (20,000 feet)** and is famous for its distinctive spear-like shape, which makes it one of the most beautiful peaks in the world.

Key features of Laila Peak:

1. **Location**: Near the Gondogoro Glacier in the Hushe Valley, within the Karakoram mountain range.
2. **Distinctive Shape**: Its **sharp, pointed summit** and steep slopes make it visually striking, often compared to a crescent moon.
3. **Climbing**: Laila Peak is popular among experienced climbers, although its steepness and challenging terrain make it difficult. The west face is the most commonly climbed route.
4. **First Ascent**: The peak was first climbed in **1987** by a group of climbers from the UK.
5. **Scenery**: The area surrounding Laila Peak is breathtaking, with views of other notable peaks such as Masherbrum and K2.

Laila Peak is particularly admired for its aesthetic beauty, making it a favorite subject for photographers and mountaineers alike.

Climbs to the summit of K2, carrying a 17m sail.
Achieves it in 10:59:59, without oxygen.
Paraglides from the summit, in a world first.

“It was many years of experience that were expressed on July 28. Combining high-altitude rapid mountaineering with paragliding mastery. It once again gave me indescribable sensations and emotions that day.”

After his 8611m climb and 30-minute flight above the famous glacial expanses, there was only one thing left to say:

“Thank you life.”

Emergency 🆘
Murad Sadpara, our top climber and a true legend who helped retrieve the body of Hassan Shigri from K2 Bottleneck, has met with an accident on Broad Peak and urgently needs rescue. We’re requesting the Pakistan Army to send four climbers from Skardu to the Broad Peak crampon point to bring him back safely. Please keep Murad in your prayers for a safe return to Skardu. 🙏

Sadly resorting to social media as no one listens to us._.kiani

Eternal Flame 🔥 - Rope Solo
9 days, alone, on one of the biggest walls and dreams which had found a place in my mind in the last years and that I took care till it has become possible.

In a world where people feel like conquerors of mountains following fixed ropes to fuel their ego and where sponsors like don’t trust in your alpine vision and they kick you out two weeks before the departure saying you haven’t done enough IG post, there is the possibility to be rebels and to go against the tide. To draw our own path, which is shaped day by day, from the seeds we putted during the years and that we took care with sacrifice, right and wrong choices.
In a life which always looks unstable, but that we try to put in the direction we want, to keep our dreams alive.

Probably the biggest and rad adventure I ever had, predicted by with a draw in my expedition diary during my first trip in Patagonia in 2016. The diary has been stored for years, it survived to an alluvium in the Dolomites and many moving around the Alps. A day during the last move to Chamonix .loreggian found the diary in one paper box and she gave me back saying: “you should start to write again your adventures in this diary, there are still some pages left before it ends..”
To be continued..

Chota Dumani (5050m) That’s the name we gave to this nice summit after reflection with the locals. It means « Little Rakaposhi »
Nice day shared with , lost inside this huge iconic mountain from Hunza!
We were really not optimistic about the snowpack the day before going, quite scary… but we were super motivated to make a try!
Early start at 1 am from the Base camp, we reached the bottom of the face at 5am. 9am at the top! Just in time to ski it before the temperature gets very warm👌
Thank Pica and thank to the whole team!🇵🇰🇫🇷🇨🇭
