		Climbing Gasherbrum IV by a new route is a very difficult undertaking and is therefore a mountaineering objective fraught with uncertainty.
		In an era where many of the 8000 meter peaks are made easier by the sheer numbers of climbers and prior fixed ropes and ladders, an ascent of Gasherbrum IV is still much the same difficult proposition it was when first climbed in 1958.
		There is a tremendous problem in the Baltoro Glacier area with disposal of human waste, so on our walk into Gasherbrum IV we constructed toilets in the most highly impacted glacial areas of the upper Baltoro Glacier.
