Kholat Syakhl, Mountain summit on the Komi Republic–Sverdlovsk Oblast border, Russia

Kholat Syakhl is a mountain on the Poiasovyi Kamen ridge of the northern Urals, on the border of the Komi Republic and Sverdlovsk Oblast, 14 km south of Otorten. Its summit reaches 1,096.7 m and holds a small, completely flat platform. The slopes are soft-shaped and covered with slate scree, with sericite-quartzite slate outcrops forming groups of low rocks.

On 2 February 1959, a ski group led by Igor Dyatlov died on the east shoulder of Kholat Syakhl, not on Otorten as sometimes reported. In investigation documents the mountain appears as "height 1079", its elevation on maps issued before 1963; modern maps give 1,096.7 m.

The Mansi name Holatchahl was rendered by geologist V. A. Varsanofyeva in 1929 as "dead peak", referring to the bare, lichen-covered summit. The translation "mountain of the dead" spread only after the 1959 Dyatlov Pass incident, and the pass between Kholat Syakhl and the unnamed height to its east now bears Igor Dyatlov's name.

The summit lies on the border of the Komi Republic and Sverdlovsk Oblast, 14 km south of Otorten, on the Poyasovy Kamen ridge. Forest covers the slopes up to 700–750 m, with tundra above; the top is a small, completely flat platform. Approach from Ivdel; the Dyatlov Pass sits between the mountain and the unnamed height to its east.

In investigation files from 1959 the mountain appears as "height 1079", the figure printed on topographic maps issued before 1963; later maps give 1,096.7 metres. The summit itself is a small, completely level patch, and the slopes are covered with slate scree that in the late 1920s was partly bare and lichen-covered, partly overgrown with grass and berry shrubs.
