The Ge'nyen Massif (Template:Zh; Tibetan: Template:Bo-textonly, Wylie: skar ma ri bo), is a mountain in the Shaluli Mountains of western Sichuan province, China.[1] With an elevation of Script error: No such module "convert"., it is the third highest peak in the province. It was first climbed in 1988 by a Japanese team.[2]

The Ge'nyen massif is regarded as the 13th most holy mountain among the 24 holy mountains of Tibetan Buddhism.[3] Lenggu Monastery is located in a steep valley at the base of the mountain's eastern flank.

Ascents

In 1988, the first recorded ascent of the Genyen Massif was made by a Japanese team.[2] They were followed by an Italian group who used a new route on the east face.[2] In autumn 2006, Christine Boskoff (of Mountain Madness adventure company) and Charlie Fowler, another well-known American climber and Mountain Madness guide, went missing near Ge'nyen. It was later determined that they had died in an avalanche while climbing near Lenggu Monastery on Ge'nyen Mountain.[4][5][6][7]
