Muztagh Ata, or Muztagata (Uyghur: 'ice-mountain-father'; Chinese: 慕士塔格峰; pinyin: Mùshìtǎgé Fēng), is the second highest (7546 metres) of the mountains which form the northern edge of the Tibetan Plateau (not the second highest of the mountains of the Tibetan 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 reputedly one of the easiest 7,000 m peaks in the world to climb, due to its gentle western slope and the comparatively drier weather of Xinjiang.
