Muchu Chhish


Muchu Chhish is a mountain in the Batura Muztagh sub-range of the Karakoram in Pakistan. Located in a very remote and inaccessible region, only a handful of attempts have been made to reach the summit, none successful. The most recent attempt was in 2014 when English mountaineer Peter Thompson turned back at the point. Muchu Chhish is one of the tallest mountains on Earth that remain unclimbed and is the tallest one of all that is not off limits due to religious or political prohibitions. The peak has a modest prominence however, rising only above the nearest col or pass. One of the longest glaciers outside the polar regions, Batura Glacier flanks Muchu Chhish to the north.
