Momhil Sar

Momhil Sar rises to 7,343 meters in the Hispar Muztagh range of the Karakoram and sits between the peaks of Trivor Sar and Kunyang Chhish. The mountain is fed by several glacier systems that carry snow and ice down toward the valleys below.

Austrian mountaineers completed the first ascent in June 1964, including climbers Hanns Schell and Rudolf Pischinger. This achievement marked an important moment in the exploration of the Karakoram's highest summits.

The peak stands in a region inhabited by different ethnic groups who maintain their traditions along ancient trade routes through the valleys. Local communities have maintained strong connections to these mountains as vital passage routes for centuries.

Climbing requires technical mountaineering skills and high-altitude experience, with the best season running from June through August. Expeditions demand careful planning since weather can change rapidly and terrain is demanding throughout the climb.

The peak feeds multiple glacier systems including the Gharesa and Momhil glaciers, which carry snow masses toward Shimshal Valley. These flowing ice systems sustain water sources that the surrounding valleys depend on year-round.
