Mount Siguniang (Four Sisters Mountain)
Mount Siguniang, or Yaomei Feng ('Queen of Sichuan's Peaks'), is the highest of the four Siguniang ('Four Sisters') peaks and, at 6,250 meters, the easternmost mountain of 6,000 meters or higher anywhere on Earth. It sits in the Qionglai Mountains of Sichuan's Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, within a roughly 2,000 sq km national park whose valleys overlap the UNESCO-listed Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries. Unlike its three lower sister summits — one an easy trek, the others requiring only basic climbing skills — the main peak is a serious technical objective on glaciated snow, ice, and mixed terrain, first climbed via the East Ridge by a Japanese team in 1981; a separate Southwest Ridge line was first climbed in 2008 by Americans Chad Kellogg and Dylan Johnson. Very few parties attempt the main summit, and of those who do, very few succeed, making it one of Sichuan's most respected technical alpine objectives despite its comparatively modest altitude for a 6,000-meter peak. The gateway town of Rilong (Siguniangshan Town) in Xiaojin County sits roughly 200 km — about a four-hour drive — from Chengdu.
