The highest point of the system is Pobeda Peak 7439 m. Until the 1930s, Khan Tengri was considered the highest peak of the Tien Shan. The ice hulk of the Victory Peak, almost always hidden by a dense covering of clouds, escaped the eyes of explorers, including Semenov, Cesare Borgese and Gottfried Merzbacher, although mentions of the Ghost Mountain often slip in the memories of the first climbers of Khan-Tengri - Mikhail Pogrebetsky, the Abalakov brothers. On rare days, when it was visible, appearing far to the north, this peak seemed less high than Khan-Tengri, which is clearly visible on the panoramic photographs made in the beginning of our century by Mertsbaher himself. However, the stories of the locals told of two highest mountains, magnificent and frightening: Khan-Tengri and Kan-Too. Semenov, not having exact descriptions of their location, mistook a fantastic ice pyramid, which he saw during his second expedition, for Khan Tengri, whereas the locals called this mountain Kan-Too, which means Bloody Mountain in Kyrgyz because of its red color at sunset. And Khan Tengri, that is Lord of Heaven, the Kyrgyz called the highest peak of the Heavenly Tien Shan Mountains, probably now known to us as Victory Peak, the next highest peak is Khan Tengri Peak 7010m. The inhabitants of the neighboring valleys call Khan Tengri Kan-Too the Mountain of Blood. At sunset, the marble pyramid of the peak is ablaze with red-hot coal. The shadows of the clouds run across the mountain, and the sunlight scattered by them imitates the flowing blood. It's been 1200 years since Khan Tengri was first mentioned in the Chinese chronicles. He was first climbed by Ukrainian mountaineer M. P. Pogrebetsky in 1931, when he walked the southern side of the pyramid. This route even today is considered a classic.
