CET Neva tours . mountaineering, climbing, trekking, ski tours, kayaking, raftingExpeditions into Chinese Pamir . Muztagh-Ata (7546 m) and Kongur (7719 m)In local languages (the Kazakh and the Uigur, both are Turkish dialects) "Muz-Tagh-Ata" means literally "Ice Mountain"s Father". First tries to climb up Muztagh-Ata were made in 1894 by Swedish geographist (root_english_cet-neva-tours_expeditions-into-chinese-pamir_sven-hedin Sven Hedin) from the West. In two of four his attempts he reached altitude of 6300 m. In 1947 famous British climbers (root_english_cet-neva-tours_expeditions-into-chinese-pamir_shipton E. Shipton) and H. Tilman along with sirdar Gyalzen Sherpa could arrive to the summit dome at some 7000 m.
The first historic ascent of the Muztagh-Ata summit had been realized in 1956 by Soviet-China expedition led by (root_english_cet-neva-tours_expeditions-into-chinese-pamir_eugene-beletsky Eugene Beletsky) following the route outlined by Hedin. The way is not difficult technically and good for not very competent mountaineers. But because of high altitudes above the sea all along the route, participants should be well prepared physically.
