It is located between [[Shigar District]] in the [[Gilgit–Baltistan]] region of [[Pakistan]] and [[Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County|Tashkurgan]] in the [[Xinjiang]] of China. Gasherbrum I is part of the [[Gasherbrum Massif]], located in the [[Karakoram]] region of the [[Himalaya]]. Gasherbrum is often claimed to mean "Shining Wall", presumably a reference to the highly visible face of the neighboring peak [[Gasherbrum IV]]; but in fact, it comes from "rgasha" (beautiful) + "brum" (mountain) in [[Balti language|Balti]], hence it actually means "beautiful mountain." Gasherbrum I was designated K5 (meaning the 5th peak of the [[Karakoram]]) by [[Thomas George Montgomerie|T.G. Montgomerie]] in 1856 when he first spotted the peaks of the Karakoram from more than 200 km away during the [[Great Trigonometric Survey]] of India. In 1892, [[William Martin Conway]] provided the alternate name, Hidden Peak, in reference to its extreme remoteness. Gasherbrum I was first climbed on July 5, 1958, by [[Pete Schoening]] and Andy Kauffman of an eight-man [[United States|American]] expedition led by [[Nicholas Clinch|Nicholas B. Clinch]], Richard K. Irvin, Tom Nevison, Tom McCormack, Bob Swift and Gil Roberts were also members of the team.<ref name=clinch>{{cite book|last=Clinch|first=Nicholas|title=A Walk in the Sky: Climbing Hidden Peak|publisher=The Mountaineers|date=1982|isbn=0898860423|place=New York, Vancouver}}</ref>{{rp|210–212}}
