Muisky Gigant (Russian: Муйский Гигант) is a mountain in the Southern Muya Range, Stanovoy Highlands, Russia. Administratively it is located in Buryatia, Russian Federation.[2]
Following four failed attempts to climb the peak, the first ascent of Muysky Gigant, took place on 8 July 1993, by a group of students of the Novosibirsk Institute of Railway Engineers led by alpinist and tour organizer Alexander Kuzminykh.
Muisky Gigant is a massive-looking mountain, an ultra-prominent peak, rising about 45km (28miles) southwest of Taksimo, the administrative center of Muysky District.[3] [4]
At 3067m (10,062feet) this mountain is the highest peak of the Southern Muya Range.[5] Muisky Gigant rises from a massif that constitutes a short spur of the main axis of the range. The Bambukoy River, a left tributary of the Bambuyka of the Vitim river basin, has its sources in the southeastern slopes of the mountain.[6]
