Masherbrum exploration
Masherbrum's earliest Western explorer was Haversham Godwin-Austen (1834-1923), of the Kashmir Survey. I n 1860, he explored and mapped its southern versant from Hushe, up to about 6000m. In August 1861, while surveying K2, he climbed a northern spur of Masherbrum to a point about 1000m above Urdukas, on the Baltoro.
