The Crown, Mountain summit in Xinjiang, China

The Crown, also called Huang Guan Shan, is a 7,295-metre summit in the Karakoram range of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China, about 42 kilometres from Chogori Peak. It is the highest peak of the Yengisogat subrange, rising above the snowline in a remote, unpopulated part of the range.

The Crown lies in the Yengisogat subrange of the Karakoram, about 42 km from Chogori Peak (K2). A British military expedition attempted the summit in 1987; Hugh McManners recounted the failure in "Crowning the Dragon" (1989). A Japanese Alpine Club expedition from the Tōkai branch made the first ascent in 1993, with three groups reaching the top on 27, 28 and 29 July.

The Chinese name Huang Guan Shan, "Crown Mountain", matches the English name. The mountain's main distinction in climbing annals is its first ascent: a Japanese expedition from the Tōkai branch of the Japanese Alpine Club reached the summit in three groups on 27, 28 and 29 July 1993. A 1987 British military attempt failed and was recounted by Hugh McManners in "Crowning the Dragon" (1989).

Reaching this summit requires serious high-altitude mountaineering experience, as altitude sickness and sudden weather changes are real risks at this elevation. Even travelers who only want to explore the surrounding area need a border zone permit, since the peak sits in a restricted part of China.

The Crown is the highest peak of the Yengisogat subrange, a side range of the Karakoram, and lies about 42 kilometres from Chogori Peak (K2). Its first ascent was made by a Japanese expedition of the Tōkai branch of the Japanese Alpine Club, whose three groups reached the top on 27, 28 and 29 July 1993.
