Aylama, Mountain summit on the Georgia–Russia border, Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia

Aylama is a mountain summit in the northern Caucasus within Kabardino-Balkaria, characterized by steep rocky slopes and permanent snow cover. The peak is surrounded by glaciers and connects to a wider ridge system of adjacent summits.

The first recorded ascent of Aylama was made in 1889 by the climber Herman Woolley. During the Soviet era, an mountaineering camp named "Ailama" operated on the mountain's southern slope. The peak rises to 4,546 metres on the border between Georgia's Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti region and Russia's Kabardino-Balkaria.

The mountain's name appears in Georgian as Ailama (აილამა) and Ahlama (აჰლამა), and the peak rises above the Ailama glacier in the Dykhsuu valley. During the Soviet period a mountaineering camp named "Ailama" stood on the southern slope; a camp of the same name still sits at the base of that slope today.

Climbing requires special permits from regional authorities and technical mountaineering gear for high-altitude conditions. Visitors should acclimatize properly and travel with experienced guides to navigate the terrain safely.

The first ascent of Aylama was made in 1889 by the climber Herman Woolley. No easy mountaineering routes lead to the 4,546-metre summit, and a camp named "Ailama" stood on the southern slope during the Soviet period.
