Kongur Tiube

Kongur Tiube reaches an elevation of 7,530 meters above sea level, forming part of the Pamir Mountains in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The first successful climb to the summit occurred in 1981, led by mountaineers Michael Ward and Chris Bonington during China's period of opening to foreign visitors.

The name translates to 'brown mountain' in the Uyghur language, reflecting the natural color of its slopes when observed from surrounding valleys.

Climbers need advanced skills in rock, snow, and ice techniques to navigate the mountain's diverse terrain conditions throughout different elevation zones.

In 2015, a substantial portion of the mountain's glacier collapsed, creating an ice-rock avalanche extending 20 kilometers in length and 1 kilometer in width.
