Rongme Ngatra

Rongme Ngatra, Mountain summit in Dêgê County, China

Rongme Ngatra is the highest peak of the Chola Mountains in the Kham region of western Sichuan, China, reaching 6,168 metres. It is the second-highest summit of the greater Shaluli Mountains after Ge'nyen. Glaciers flank the peak to the north and east; the north glacier ends at 4,100 metres, just above Lake Yihun Lhatso.

The sources record no first-ascent date for Rongme Ngatra, so the 1988 claim is unsourced. What they do establish is the peak's standing: at 6,168 metres it is the highest summit of the Chola Mountains and the second highest of the greater Shaluli range, after Ge'nyen. The mountain is flanked by glaciers to the north and east, and the north glacier ends at 4,100 metres, just above Lake Yihun Lhatso.

The peak's Tibetan name is Rongme Ngatra; its Mandarin name, Que Er Shan (雀儿山), is also the name of the whole Chola range, which is why some translations call the summit Chola Mountain. The mountain is reached from Manigango in Dêgê County, Garze Prefecture, the base town for the Chola range.

The usual approach starts from Manigango in Dêgê County, Garze Prefecture, the town named in the sources as the access point. The north glacier ends at 4,100 m just above Lake Yihun Lhatso, so the ice is reached from the lake side. Plan for the 6,168 m altitude before attempting the summit.

The north glacier ends at 4,100 metres, just above Lake Yihun Lhatso, so ice and lake water sit close together on the same slope. The peak is the second highest in the wider Shaluli Mountains after Ge'nyen, and its Mandarin name, Que Er Shan, is also the name of the whole Chola range.
