Does anyone know about rockclimbing near the jeep roads around K2, either on the China or Pakistan side? I hear of Kland. For some reason some people spell it Klane. I wish I knew why.

Ok let me rephrase that. Does anyone know about granite anywhere outside on roads around K2 I do know of another place like Trango: http://www.alpinist.com/doc/ALP20/newswire-pakistan-charakusa-big-walls http://www.alpinist.com/doc/ALP20/newswire-sadu-red-queen http://www.summitpost.org/hushe-baltistan-pakistan/707965 http://www.climbingguidebg.com/index.php?module=News&func=display&lang=en&sid=4512 Does anyone know of any others?

Tons of granite in the Trango area which is only about a four day trek from the end of the road.

Most climbers would consider a four day approach to a climb to be pretty insane. Especially considering the majority of the best climbing in the world is less than a 60 min approach. But I supposed climbing on the Trango Towers does offer an unrivaled experience obtainable no where else.
