The Ge'nyen Massif (simplified Chinese: 格聂峰; traditional Chinese: 格聶峰; pinyin: Géniè Fēng; Tibetan: སྐར་མ་རི་བོ་, Wylie: skar ma ri bo), is a mountain in the Shaluli Mountains of western Sichuan province, China.[1] With an elevation of 6,204 metres (20,354 ft), it is the third highest peak in the province. It was first climbed in 1988 by a Japanese team.[4]
The Ge'nyen massif is regarded as the 13th most holy mountain among the 24 holy mountains of Tibetan Buddhism.[5] Lenggu Monastery is located in a steep valley at the base of the mountain's eastern flank.
