Engels Peak, Mountain summit in Shahdarin Range, Tajikistan.

Engels Peak rises to 6510 meters in elevation, featuring steep rock walls and complex glacial formations along its northern and southern slopes.

The summit, initially named Tsaritsa Peak after Empress Maria Feodorovna, received its current name during the Soviet period to honor Friedrich Engels.

The mountain holds significance in Tajik mountaineering history, with Georgian climbers completing the first ascent through the southern wall in 1954.

Climbers access the peak through base camps in Kishte-Dzherob valley at 4100 meters, with summer offering the most favorable climbing conditions.

The mountain contains 22 established climbing routes, ranging from category 5A to 6B, making it one of Tajikistan's most technically demanding peaks.
