  Baltoro Glacier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Baltoro Muztagh lies to the north and east of the glacier, while the Masherbrum Mountains lie to the south.
Several large tributary glaciers feed the main Baltoro glacier, including the Godwin Austen Glacier, flowing south from K2; the Abruzzi and the various Gasherbrum Glaciers, flowing from the Gasherbrum group of peaks; the Vigne Glacier, flowing from Chogolisa, and the Yermandendu Glacier, flowing from Masherbrum.
The confluence of the main Baltoro Glacier with the Godwin Austen Glacier is known as Concordia; this location and K2 base camp are popular trekking destinations.

 List of mountains in Pakistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Five of the fourteen highest independent peaks in the world (the eight-thousanders) are in Pakistan (four of which lie in the surroundings of Concordia; the confluence of Baltoro Glacier and Godwin Austen Glacier).
Most of the highest peaks in Pakistan lie in Karakoram range (which lies almost entirely in the Northern Areas of Pakistan, and is considered to be a part of the greater Himalayan range) but some peaks above 7,000 m are included in Himalayan and Hindu Kush ranges.
The peak marked as number 9 is Nanga Parbat (8,125 m), which is the highest Himalayan peak in Pakistan.

 The North Face Baltoro Jacket review by A. Todhunter - Trailspace.com
While belaying in the Baltoro, you could sit perfectly still in the biting wind for a long pitch, the air temp plummeting as midnight approached, and you might as well have been in the tropics.
A little longer than the Baltoro, the Himalayan promises to be a furnace.

 Karakoram '99: Climbing the Baltoro Glacier   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Meanwhile, in nearby Balti villages, already overburdened women must double their workload due to a lack of "manpower." The porter's scuffle ends when a chain of porters chant "Allah Akbhar" and heads off to the mountains with their golden 25kg.
Occasionally, the grueling week-long Baltoro hike even stops elite climbers dead in their tracks, turning them home before they arrive at Base Camp.
After a week on the Baltoro Glacier, climbers arrive at Concordia, the "world's greatest amphitheater," where the Baltoro, Godwin Austen, and Nuating Glaciers converge.

 The North Face Baltoro HV 400 Boot - Men's
Rated to -40 degrees Fahrenheit, the Baltoro HV 400 is primarily a winter boot.
However, it excels in inclement weather—rain, snow, slush, sleet, and the occasional frog falling from the sky doesn’t stand a chance of penetrating the HyVent waterproof barrier, fleece-lined collar and tongue lining, or waterproof Nubuck leather upper.
Outlast prevents overheating and sweating by absorbing excess heat, then releases that same heat when the temperature drops to maintain a comfortable, consistent temperature inside the boot.

Nice looks, but it does not do what is says it does - I took these boots trekking above the Arctic Circle in Sweden and Finland and was thoroughly disappointed in their performance.
