Muztagh Ata 慕士塔格峰
(重定向自Muztagata)
Muztagh Ata, or Muztagata (******: مۇز تاغ ئاتا, Музтаң Ата, literally "ice-mountain-father"; Chinese:慕士塔格峰; pinyin:Mùshìtǎgé Fēng), is the second highest (7509 metres) of the mountains which form the northern edge of the *****an Plateau (not the second highest of the mountains of the *****an Plateau). It is sometimes regarded as being part of the Kunlun Shan, although physically it is more closely connected to the Pamirs. It is also one of the relatively easier 7,000 m peaks in the world to climb, due to its gentle western slope and the comparatively drier weather of ********, though a thorough acclimatization period and a very strong physical condition are crucial for success.
