Awesome, love the patchy lighting.
What's with all the dead trees? Some kind of disease or pest like pine beetle?

It's a Douglas fir.
Nice photo though.

Yup. Not sure why OP feels compelled to make photographic falsehoods and then double down by lying about it, but those two things are probably related.

This part of BC is insanely underrated. Probably because it's just so hard to get there.

India-Pakistan politics, spicy!
As an ignorant North American I have very little knowledge of this situation and no bias one way or another. I think the answer should be based on this: If you asked someone who lives in one of the towns at the base of Rakaposhi, what country would they say they live in?

This mountain has the most extreme local relief on earth that I know of, not counting anything below sea level. From the Hunza River to the top is about 5900 m (19350 feet) vertical difference. Denali in Alaska is similar but it's surrounded by a large range of other high peaks. Rakaposhi is just straight up over a horizontal distance of only 12 km.
