1. La cascada de hielo

Desde el campo base hasta el campo I es preciso superar la cascada de hielo del glaciar meridional de los Gasherbrum, que no llega a presentar la peligrosidad o la dificultad de la cascada del Khumbu en la vertiente meridional del Everest. Aún así, se requiere equipamiento, señalización y una labor de mantenimiento de la ruta por parte de las expediciones presentes en la montaña, dada la existencia de grietas, resaltes, seracs, lagunas glaciares, avalanchas en las laderas circundantes y otros obstáculos y alteraciones del terreno producidas por el propio movimiento del glaciar. El campo I se instala a unos 5.950 m de altura, en el plató superior y en las proximidades de la continuación de la ruta (espolón Moravec), y se requieren entre siete y ocho horas de actividad desde el campo base para alcanzarlo, aunque una vez realizada una correcta aclimatación, se puede reducir bastante este tiempo.

2. El espolon Moravec

Se trata de una línea bien definida de nieve con una fuerte pendiente del glaciar a su derecha y cortes de nieve y roca a su izquierda. La ruta alterna entre tramos de nieve y arista buscando el terreno más fácil y salvando algunos resaltes. La pendiente es bastante fuerte y suele superar los 60º de inclinación, de forma que se gana altura rápidamente sobre todo entre los campos I y II, donde se encuentran los tramos más expuestos. El campo II se instala a 6.450 m en un rellano de la propia arista bastante resguardado, mientras que el campo III se suele montar sobre el mismo espolón a 7.050 m de altura. Se acostumbra a instalar cuerdas fijas a lo largo de todo el espolón no sólo para facilitar la subida sino sobre todo para asegurar un descenso rápido en caso de mal tiempo. Una vez realizada la aclimatación y con las cuerdas fijas instaladas, el tiempo que puede invertirse entre cada uno de los campos oscila entre 3 y 4 horas.

3. La cumbre

Desde el campo III es preciso continuar por la arista hasta los 7.400 m aproximadamente, bajo la perfecta pirámide cimera. En ocasiones, se instala un campo IV en este punto, lo que puede facilitar en muchos casos un descenso seguro. Desde este punto, una larga travesía en diagonal por suaves pendientes de nieve bajo la pirámide cimera conduce a la arista este, a un altura de 7.750 m de altura sobre el nivel del mar; desde donde, por una fuerte pendiente aunque sin dificultades especiales salvo una banda rocosa en los 50 últimos metros, se alcanza la cumbre del Gasherbrum II.
