On February 2, 1959, a group of ski hikers led by Igor Dyatlov mysteriously perished on the east shoulder of Kyolat Syakhl (not Otorten, as is sometimes erroneously reported). This Dyatlov Pass incident is the main reason that people outside the immediate area in Russia have heard of this remote peak.
Nomenclature
The name of this mountain simply meant a "lack of game"[citation needed] for native Mansi hunters. The word kholat (meaning "silent" or "meager") is a relatively common placename element within Mansi territory, and it is a part of at least 3 other local geographic names.
In Russian, the Mansi name can be translated as myórtvaya vershína (мёртвая вершина), literally "dead peak".
Note that this article's Russian-language version (especially the Этимология/Etymology section) has much more detail about the origin of, and disputes about, the mountain's name.
Historic References
In documents related to the investigation into the Dyatlov Pass ski-hikers, Kholat Syakhl is often referred to as "height 1079" [2] — its height on topographic maps issued before 1963. On more modern maps, however, the height of the mountain is indicated as 1096.7 meters above sea level.[3]

Le Kholat Syakhl (en russe : Холатча́хль) est un sommet situé dans la partie septentrionale des monts Oural, à la frontière de la république des Komis et de l'oblast de Sverdlovsk en Russie. Son nom, d'origine mansi, signifie « montagne morte »[2].[it] Cholatčachl'
Cholatčachl' o Cholat Sjachyl ("montagna morta" in lingua mansi, in russo: Холатчахль? o Холат-Сяхыл) è una montagna sita nel nord della regione degli Urali in Russia. Spesso il nome della montagna viene tradotto come "Montagna dei Morti" o "Montagna della Morte" dando al luogo un aspetto sinistro. Sembra in realtà che il nome derivi dal fatto che è priva di cacciagione. La parola Mansi "Kholat" significa infatti sia "morto" che "magra".[ru] Холатчахль
