BISHOP'S HEADDRESS-Mitre Peak. Concordia, Pakistan by Aamir Choudhry

Mitre Peak is a majestic peak, but it's dwarfed by the neighbors when it comes to elevation. 6010 m doesn't go far in the area and there are over 60 peaks close by which are higher.

Mitre is named in the book "the world's greatest peaks" by R. Messner (Sigloch edition, 1989).

Viewed from the Concordia Glacier, it makes an unapproachable impression, and its friable rock and snow gullies look uninviting. But it is nevertheless beautiful. The question of who brought off the first ascent is controversial, as there have been repeated attempts on the summits without permission, and so the records are unreliable."
