Details
Sabas Tower is a technical and high-altitude peak located in the Biafo Glacier area of the Karakoram range. The climb is challenging and requires good mountaineering skills, especially in ice and rock climbing. It's ideal for experienced climbers who want to explore less crowded peaks in one of the world's most dramatic mountain ranges.
