Khuiten Uul is the highest peak of Mongolia, situated on the border with China, the name means cold peak in Mongolian. It is usually climbed from Potanin Glacier keeping to the right of the NE ridge after a night on the upper glacier plateau. Depending on conditions the climb can be fairly easy with no section steeper than 50 degrees. If the conditions are right it can be climbed on skis.
