Rupal Peak is located on the southern side of the Rupal Valley which is more famously known for the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat, the highest face in the world. Rupal Peak is not too difficult to climb and is ideal for someone looking for an introduction to climbing in the Asian ranges. Despite its unique beauty, steep north face and impressive height, Rupal is greatly overshadowed by Nanga Parbat, the Mazeno Wall, and the mighty Rupal Face. To its west lie Laila Peak and Shaigiri, and to its north flows the Rupal Glacier which later forms the Rupal River.
It mainly involves climbing on snow slops with few short sections of easy ice. It could be compared to for difficulty yet receives a fraction of the climbers and requires no red tape to climb.
Rupal Peak was first climbed in 1964 and has received a steady stream of climbers ever since. A number of routes are possible with the Western route being the most popular due it being the easiest with minimal objective dangers.
