Shivling, Sacred mountain summit in Garhwal Himalaya, India.
Mount Shivling rises 6,543 meters above sea level, displaying a distinctive tooth-shaped peak that marks the western edge of the Gangotri glacier.
The Indo-Tibetan Border Police team, led by Hukam Singh, completed the first successful climb to the summit on June 3, 1974.
Hindu pilgrims recognize the mountain's formation as a natural representation of Lord Shiva's lingam, making it a destination of religious importance.
Climbers need technical expertise in using crampons, ice axes, and rope management skills to navigate the steep inclines and snow-covered terrain.
In 2012, Russian athlete Valery Rozov executed the first BASE jump from the summit, descending 6,420 meters using a wingsuit.
