It is in a saddle between two mountains and about 45 metres wide. There is no vegetation or icecap and is generally free of snow due to the winds. However, the winds are often very high accompanied by low temperatures and there are frequent blizzards. In spite of all this, the Karakoram Pass was considered a relatively easy pass due to its relatively gradual ascent on both sides, and lack of ice. REFERENCES
