Pik Garmo, Mountain summit in Academy of Sciences Range, Tajikistan

Pik Garmo rises 6,595 meters above sea level in the Pamir Mountains, featuring steep rock faces and permanent snow fields on its slopes.

The mountain's name transfer in 1933 to what is now Ismoil Somoni Peak created lasting confusion about its true location and elevation.

The death of British climbers Wilfrid Noyce and Robin Smith during their 1962 ascent marks a significant event in the mountain's climbing history.

Climbers need to obtain permits from Tajik authorities and arrange transportation to the nearest settlement of Poimazor before attempting the ascent.

The Fedchenko Glacier, the longest glacier outside polar regions, flows along the eastern flank of Pik Garmo through the mountain range.
