Muztagh Ata 7546 m Expedition 2026

The Father of Ice Mountains

Expedition 2026 | Kyrgyzstan – China Pamir

Rising to 7,546 meters in the eastern Pamirs of Xinjiang, China, Muztagh Ata is one of the most accessible and rewarding 7,000-meter peaks in the world. Thanks to its broad western slopes, non-technical glaciated terrain, and relatively stable, dry continental weather, it has become a premier objective for high-altitude mountaineers and ski-alpinists worldwide.

Often called the “Father of Ice Mountains,” Muztagh Ata offers the perfect introduction to extreme altitude without demanding technical climbing skills. It is an ideal expedition for experienced mountaineers aiming to step beyond 7,000 meters — as well as for ski mountaineers seeking one of the most spectacular high-altitude descents on Earth.

Join ClimberCA and experience the vast glaciers, golden deserts, and immense horizons of the Chinese Pamir.

Expedition Overview

Our program follows a classic acclimatization strategy with three high camps and a rotation system designed to maximize summit success and safety.

Route Profile

• Base Camp: 4,450 m

• Camp 1: 5,350 m

• Camp 2: 6,200 m

• Camp 3: 6,800 m

• Summit: 7,546 m

The ascent follows wide snow slopes (typically 20–35°), crevassed glaciated terrain, and high-altitude plateaus. While technically straightforward, the mountain demands strong endurance, proper acclimatization, and solid glacier travel skills.
