Simon Messner Completes Solo Ascent of Unclimbed Geshot Peak / Toshe III in Pakistan
The South Tyrolean mountaineer Simon Messner has made a solo ascent of Toshe III, a 6,200m mountain in Pakistan that had never been climbed before, known locally as Geshot Peak.
On 29 June 2019 Simon Messner soloed Toshe III, a 6200-meter mountain that rises above the Bunar valley circa 18km southwest of Nanga Parbat, known locally as Geshot Peak. The 29-year-old South Tyrolean mountaineer had traveled to Pakistan with Günther Göberl, Robert Neumeyer and his father, world-famous mountaineer Reinhold Messner, and the initial plan was to climb the mountain together, but due to difficult snow conditions the others chose not to continue.
