at-kongur tagh
Kongur Tagh (also referred to as Kongur) is the highest peak of
the Kunlun Mountains in China. It is situated in a small
subrange, known as the Kongur Shan, which forms the western end
of the Kunlun. (Some sources use "Kongur Shan" mistakenly to
refer to the peak itself.) It is just north of Muztagh Ata and
close to Karakul Lake and the Pamir Mountains. Due to its
remoteness and being hidden by nearby peaks, Kongur was not
discovered by Europeans until 1900. However, the building of the
Karakorum Highway from Pakistan to China, which runs past nearby
Tashkurgan and Karakul Lake, has now made it more accessible.
The first attempt to climb
Kongur Tagh was made in 1956 but the party aborted the attempt
when it realized it was beyond their abilities.
The first ascent of Kongur Tagh was completed in 1981 by a
British expedition consisting of Chris Bonington, Al Rouse,
Peter Boardman and Joe Tasker.
Kongur Tagh has a
significant subpeak known as Kongur Tiube, 7,530 m (24,705 ft).
It is moderately independent, with a topographic prominence of
840m (2,756 ft). It was first climbed in 1956.
