The Diran Peak is close to the Rakaposhi mountain massif and rises to a height of 7,266 meters (23,839 ft). One of the most accessible and well-liked peaks in the Karakoram range for mountaineering is thought to be Diran Peak. Diran Peak was first climbed in 1968 by a team of Austrian climbers led by Rainer Goeschl. The team consisted of four climbers, including Rainer Goeschl, Rudolph Pischinger, Hanns Schell, and Robert Schauer. Being one of the first successful ascents of a peak higher than 7,200 meters (23,620 ft) in the Karakoram range, the ascent of Diran Peak was regarded as a significant accomplishment in mountaineering. Diran Peak has been scaled multiple times since its initial ascent and the climbing routes are now well-known. It's still difficult to climb for a climber due to the mountain's steep and snowy terrain and that requires a high level of technical expertise and experience.
