The Muztagh Tower (also: Muztagh Tower, Muztagh means ice tower; Urdu مضطاغ ٹاور ), is a 7,273 m high mountain in the Karakorum. His ascent is considered difficult. The Muztagh Tower is located between the vessels of the Baltoro Glacier and SARPO - Laggo glacier. He still has a 7,180 m high secondary summit.

For a long time he was regarded as unclimbable until 1956 a British expedition led by John Hartog, Joe Brown, Tom Patey and Ian McNaught -Davis from the west coming succeeded in the first ascent. So she came a French expedition just five days earlier, which undertook the rise of the East. The lower side peak was climbed for the first time in 1984 by the Northeast flank.
