Spantik, also known as Golden Peak, is a mountain situated in the Spantik-Sosbun subrange within the Karakoram range. It is located in Shigar District, of the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. The northwest face of Spantik is dominated by a pronounced pillar of creamy yellow marble which reaches up its north face to 300 m below the summit. Its distinctive appearance has given the peak its Buruskaski name, "Ganesh Chish" or Golden Peak. This outcropping is renowned for its exceptionally challenging climbing route, famously referred to as the "Golden Pillar".
