The high-spin structure of the Z=76 nucleus {sup 188}Os has been studied using the incomplete fusion reaction {sup 7}Li+{sup 186}W. A K{sup {pi}}=10{sup +} band has been established up to spin (24{sup +}) and its crossing with the ground-state band has been studied. In addition, intrinsic high-K states have been identified and on top of two of them, K{sup {pi}}=7{sup -} and K{sup {pi}}=10{sup -}, regular bands have been observed. The K{sup {pi}}=16{sup +} and K{sup {pi}}=18{sup +} states are yrast whereas the K{sup {pi}}=14{sup +} level lies only 33 keV above the yrast line and decays with a low reduced hindrance of f{sub {nu}}<1.3 to the ground-state band ({delta}K=14). The results are discussed by means of a systematic comparison with the even-even neighboring nucleus {sup 186}Os. Configuration-constrained multiquasiparticle potential-energy-surface calculations have been performed to identify the configurations of multiquasiparticle states.
