Uli Biaho is a mountain near Trango Towers and Baltoro Glacier in the Gilgit–Baltistan area of Pakistan. It consists of two main peaks, Uli Biaho Tower (listed by Roskelley as 19,957 feet, and by Kopold as 6,109 metres or 20,043 feet); and Uli Biaho Peak (Kopold: 6417 m), which as of 2006 was unclimbed.[2]

Uli Biaho Tower was climbed alpine-style via the direct East Face by John Roskelley et al. All four US climbers reached the summit on July 3, 1979.[3] Roskelley included a chapter on Uli Biaho in his 1993 book Stories Off the Wall.[4]
