Amin Brakk 5850m – Trekking Expedition
Amin Brakk, known as the Great Tower, derived its name from a local cook during a Spanish expedition. This impressive peak offers two significant climbing routes. The "Sol Solet" route, established by climbers Pep Masip, Miguel Puigdomenech, and Silvia Vidal in 1999, is a challenging 1,650-meter ascent with 22 pitches, rated A5 and 6c+. Another route, the British E3 and A3, consists of 32 pitches over 1,100 meters.

Amin Brakk's base camp is at an altitude of 4,250 meters, serving as the starting point for these daring climbing expeditions. Its strategic location makes it accessible and convenient for climbers.
Challenges Abound:
Climbing Amin Brakk has unique challenges, including constant rockfall, snow, and ice. It's considered even more demanding than the famous Trango Tower.
Accessibility and Permits:
One key advantage of Amin Brakk is its accessibility. It's below 6,000 meters, so no government peak permit is required. Additionally, it's close to the road, allowing for relatively quick access to the base camp. No peak or trekking permits are needed for Amin Brakk itself.
