中文注释：（网友翻译，有待改进，请跟帖发表自己看法）
川口塔峰群在巴基斯坦与中国边境的喀喇昆仑山脉中跌宕起伏，它们在冰雪覆盖的风景中突出的山尖犹如鲨鱼的牙齿一般。在川口塔群峰之中，有一座约3000英尺（ 915米）由花岗岩构成的陡峭山锥。1996年，一群英勇的登山队员首次成功的在塔峰东面进行了徒手攀登。图为探险队员陶德斯金纳正在海拔大约19，500英尺（5，950米）处的塔峰陡坡上搭建一座悬挂式帐篷。

英文注释：
Trango Tower, Karakoram Mountains, Pakistan, 1996
Tucked within the Karakoram Range of the Himalaya near the Pakistan-China border, the spires of the Trango Group protrude from the icy landscape like shark's teeth. Within this group stands Trango Tower, a sheer, nearly 3,000-foot (915-meter) dagger of granite. In 1996, a group of intrepid mountaineers became the first to successfully free-climb the tower's East Face. Here, expedition member Todd Skinner works to set up a hanging camp anchored to the tower some 19,500 feet (5,950 meters) above sea level.
