Pakistan region is heaven for mountaineers

. . .
Pakistan is heaven for mountaineers. There was a time when a lot of mountaineers (especially italians and germens) use to visit Pakistan for mountaineering.

This man lost his brother on Nanga Parbat but I heard that he was the first person to cross the Nanga Parbat.

A far greater achievement than the crossing was the successful climb on the Rupal face or South Face/Side. It was the first and has only been repeated once in 2005 by Vince Anderson and Steve House.

Pakistan can't as the area is disputed and therefore pumping money here is risky. Secondly, even if half the money spent on manufacturing nukes is diverted to G/B it could become a fantastic tourist haven.

Not quite. A lot of money has been spent on Gilgit Baltistan already and more is being spent. Still more could be spent and I hope that it will be.

Wow, jawdropping height...which place?

It could be anyone of the thousands of places up there but I vaguely remember that this video was of the jeep track from Raikhot to Fairy meadows.
