Challenge 2026:
This year we are conquering Gasherbrum 1: more than 8,000 vertical meters on one route, on one hill.
Route:
From Červený Dvůr via Kleť to the parking lot in Krasetín (bottom cable car station) and back = 12 km.
Options:
Individual - covers the entire route (there and back) 10 times in 2 days. It is up to them whether to cycle, walk, combine, break or in one go.
Team - 1 joint climb of the route, i.e. max. 10 people go at the same time.
Registration:
You can register online atdarujme.cz/himalajskakoruna . The entire registration fee is a donation for Personal Assistance. The recommended donation is the first 3 numbers of your probable climbed meters. So if you want to conquer the entire challenge, i.e. the climb to Gašerbrum, the donation is 804 CZK, both for an individual and for a team. However, you can choose any amount in the donation form, the minimum amount is 200 CZK. On-site registration is at a minimum value of 300 CZK.
Long-term goal:
An imaginary conquest of all 14 eight-thousanders on Klet in 14 (15) years. However, those who support the event with just one ascent are also welcome. It is not important to climb Broad Peak, but with your ascent you can also conquer smaller mountains.
Gasherbrum I (8,068 m above sea level) is the eleventh highest mountain in the world and the third highest mountain in Pakistan. The name comes from the local Balti language, where rgasha means beautiful and brum means mountain, together meaning Beautiful Mountain.
