De Smukke Bjerge
Gasherbrum betyder på pakistansk "De Smukke Bjerge" og da vi så disse bjerge fra et højt pas på vej ud fra det centrale Karakoram i Pakistan i 1994, var vi sikre på, at vi måtte komme tilbage. 1998 var vi så tilbage for at prøve at komme op på såvel Gasherbrum I, der med sine 8068 meter hører til blandt de 14 højeste i verden - bjergene over 8000 meter - som Gasherbrum VI, som var jomfrueligt.
