Molamenqing, Mountain summit in Tibet, China.
Molamenqing stands at 7,661 meters elevation as an eastern outlier of Shishapangma within the Jugal Himal range of the greater Himalayas.
The summit received its first and only recorded ascent in May 1981 by a New Zealand expedition team during an era of limited Western access to Tibetan peaks.
The mountain lies within traditional Tibetan cultural zones where local communities regard high peaks with spiritual reverence and incorporate them into traditional beliefs and stories.
Climbing attempts require permits from Chinese authorities, extensive logistical planning for remote access, and advanced mountaineering skills to navigate fragmented glaciers and extreme altitude conditions.
Despite its impressive height of 7,661 meters, the mountain remains relatively obscure due to its low topographic prominence of only 430 meters above the connecting saddle.
