Diran
Diran (Urdu: دیرن) is a mountain in the Karakoram range, in the Bagrot Valley of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. It rises to 7,266 metres (23,839 feet) and has a pyramid-shaped peak. It lies to the east of Rakaposhi, which is taller at 7,788 metres.
The first ascent was in 1968 by three Austrians—Rainer Goeschl, Rudolph Pischinger, and Hanns Schell—climbing in alpine style. Earlier attempts in 1958 (British), 1959 (German), and 1964 (Austrian) failed due to bad weather, deep snow, and avalanches.
The easiest route to the summit is a rock/snow/ice climb.
