Muztag Ata peak 7546m

Muztag-Ata (7546m) is one of the highest and the most popular summits of Pamir. Its name is translated with Turkic as "the Father of ice slopes". It is the third on height top of Pamir after Kongur (7719m) and Kongurtjube (7595m). 16 glaciers go down from an ice dome of Muztag-Ata. The largest – Koksel - located on an East side of mountain, has length of 21 km. In the centre of the western slope of top there is a huge failure in which ice falls and feeds a glacier of Kartamak flowing down on this failure.
Accordingly at the left and to the right of a failure on top two "classical" routes rise. The first successful ascension on Muztag-Atu was carried out by the Soviet-Chinese expedition in 1956.
On July, 6th the big expedition headed by E.A.Beletsky and leaders of commands of K.K.Kuzmin and Shi Zanchunom, has reached by cars of base camp 4060 at a mountain foot. On July, 31st on top have ascended 19 Soviet and 12 Chinese climbers.
