About
The Urdok ridge is a 7,250-metre (23,790 ft) high mountain ridge which follows the continuation of the southwest ridge of Gasherbrum I.
Two main chains of the Karakoram range meet on this ridge. Along the Urdok ridge, there are several peaks. From north to south these include:
Urdok I (7,250 also known as Urdok Kangri I), and an unnamed peak (7,136 m), before the ridge reaches the Abruzzi Saddle mountain pass (6,782 m). The Abruzzi Saddle marks the boundary between the Gasherbrum group and the Sia Kangri massif.
Continuing south, the ridge rises to Urdok II (7,082 m) and Urdok III (6,950 m) before reaching Sia Kangri. Some recognize Urdok II as Sia Kangri North.
