Shan, Mountain summit in Caucasus Range, Georgia.
Mount Shani rises to 4,451 meters above sea level, featuring multiple climbing routes and steep rock formations along its northern and southern faces.
English mountaineers completed the first documented ascent of Mount Shani in 1888, followed by the inaugural south face climb in 1903.
The mountain's name appears in six regional languages, reflecting its position at the crossroads of Georgian, Russian, and Ingush territories.
Climbers need to carry equipment weighing between 20 to 25 kilograms and prepare for temperatures reaching minus 20 degrees Celsius above 3,000 meters.
The mountain derives its name from the Ingush word for ice, with 50 established climbing routes leading to its snow-covered peak.
