Free Korea Peak (Russian: Пик Свободная Корея, romanized: Pik Svobodnaya Koreya), is a mountain in the Kyrgyz Ala-Too Range of the Tian Shan. It is located in Ala Archa National Park in Kyrgyzstan.[2] It is one of the most famous peaks in the former Soviet Union, with a 900m wall on its northern face that is famously challenging to climb.[3]

History

The first ascent along the northern wall was made by an expedition led by V. Andreev in 1959.[4]

Prior to the discovery in the late 1980s of the 4810m Peak 4810 in Karavshin, Free Korea Peak, together with Ushba and Chatyn-Tau in the Caucasus, were considered some of the most difficult and prestigious peaks to climb in the former Soviet Union.[4]
