Kongur Tagh (also referred to as Kongur or Kongur Shan) is the highest peak of the Kunlun Mountains in China. Due to its remoteness and being hidden by nearby peaks, Kongur was not discovered until 1900. The first attempt to climb Kongur was made in 1956 but the party aborted the attempt when it realized it was beyond their abilities. The first ascent of Kongur Tagh was completed in 1981 by a British expedition consisting of Chris Bonington, Al Rouse, Peter Boardman and Joe Tasker.
