About
Bogda Peak or Bogda Feng (pinyin: Bógédá fēng; sometimes referred to as Mount Bogda) is the highest mountain in the Bogda Shan range, in the eastern Tian Shan mountains, China, at 5,445 m (17; 864 ft). It is the northernmost summit of at least 5,000 m (16; 400 ft) in Eurasia. Bogda Peak is the 17th most prominent peak on Earth.
Bogda Peak is a challenging climb due to its steep relief. Its sides slope at angles of between 70° and 80°. It was first climbed in 1981 by an 11-person team from Kyoto.
