Khüiten Peak (Mongolian: Хүйтэн оргил, cold peak; also Friendship Peak, Mongolian: Найрамдал оргил Nairamdal orgil; Chinese: 友谊峰, Youyi Feng) is the highest point in Mongolia, located in the far west of the country. The Peak towers at the elevation of 4,374 m (14,350 feet, previously 4,356 m) under the permanent snow-cap. It is one of five peaks in the Tavan Bogd Uul (five saints), which about 2.5 km further north marks the border tripoint between Russia, Mongolia, and China. Some sources also label the Khüiten as "Tavan Bogd Uul". The first ascent of Khüiten Peak is alleged to have occurred in 1963.
