Cheekha Dar, Mountain summit in Choman District, Iraq

Cheekha Dar is a summit of 3,611 m on the Iraq-Iran border, 6 km north of the village of Gundah Zhur in the Kurdistan Region. Its Kurdish name means Black Tent. The CIA World Factbook gives the 3,611 m figure, while Ginge Fullen's 2004 GPS read 3,628 m and the 2011 winter ascent confirmed 3,611 m. The nearby Halgurd peak, about 3,607 m, was long taken to be Iraq's highest.

English explorer Ginge Fullen made the first recorded ascent in November 2004, taking a GPS reading of 3,628 m. The first reported winter ascent was by Jonathan Beswick and Matthew DuPuy on 18 March 2011, whose GPS confirmed 3,611 m. A 2020 climb by a Kurdish team with a Garmin device measured 3,601 m, while nearby Halgurd was measured at 3,613 m.

The name Cheekha Dar comes from Kurdish and means Black Tent, a reference to the way mountain peaks were traditionally named in this region.

Climbers must arrange military escorts from Choman town due to landmines along the approach routes, with red triangular warning signs marking hazardous areas. The ascent requires mountain experience and proper gear for snow and ice conditions.

The summit's height is disputed: Ginge Fullen's November 2004 GPS read 3,628 m, while the CIA World Factbook lists 3,611 m. A 2020 climb by Ari Osman with a Garmin Oregon 550 gave 3,601 m, and his July 2020 reading on Halgurd gave 3,613 m, suggesting Halgurd may be higher.
