Shota Rustaveli Peak, Mountain summit in Greater Caucasus Range, Georgia.

Shota Rustaveli Peak is a glaciated mountain in the central Greater Caucasus, straddling the border between Svaneti (Georgia) and Kabardino-Balkaria (Russia). Its elevation is given as 4,960 m in English sources and 4,859 m in Russian sources. Some of its glaciers descend well into the adjacent valleys.

The sources record no first-ascent date or climber for Shota Rustaveli Peak, so its climbing history is undocumented there. The mountain carries the name of Shota Rustaveli, the 12th-century Georgian poet and statesman, a naming that ties the summit to Georgia's medieval literary figure rather than to an expedition.

The peak is named after Shota Rustaveli, a 12th-century Georgian poet and statesman. The Georgian form of the name is შოთა რუსთაველის მწვერვალი, and the Russian form is Пик Шота Руставели.

Reaching this summit requires technical climbing skills and experience with high altitude and glacial terrain. Visitors should prepare for difficult conditions and extreme weather.

The peak carries the name of Shota Rustaveli, the 12th-century Georgian poet and statesman, though the mountain itself lies on the Georgian-Russian border. Its glaciers descend far into the neighbouring valleys, and Russian sources warn of the danger of glacier falls into the adjacent valley.
