Mustagh
Ata (7,546 m) comes on the right side of the Karakoram Highway
to Kashgar. This beautiful peak is well known for ski climbing
among 7,000 m peaks. There is only a one day trek to base
camp from Sobash.
Mustagh Ata is one of the 50 highest peaks
on earth and occupies an isolated location on the western
edge of China's Xinjiang Province. We approach the mountain
by crossing the Khunjerab Pass. With the standard route following
the gently-angled southwest slopes, the mountain presents
no great technical problems and success will depend on good
weather conditions and our well-proven program of acclimatization.
It's not just a mountaineering expedition, but also an epic
journey into Central Asia, including a visit to Kashgar. This
is the perfect trip for those who want to test themselves
at altitude.
