Baltoro Kangri (Urdu: بلتورو کنگری also known as the Golden Throne) is a mountain of the Karakoram mountain range in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Baltoro Kangri is the 82nd highest mountain in the world with an elevation of 7,312 metres (23,990 ft). It lies to the south of the Gasherbrums and east of Chogolisa Peak (7,665 m). The huge Baltoro Glacier (which is one of the largest glaciers outside polar regions) rises from the foot of Baltoro Kangri. On the northern side of Baltoro Kangri lies the Abruzzi Glacier.
In 1963, a Japanese expedition made the first ascent of Baltoro Kangri, on the morning of August 4. The expedition consisted of nine members from the Tokyo University Ski Alpine Club, which was led by Dr. Seihei Kato.
