location
The 6323 m (according to other sources 6401 m ) high glaciated mountain lies in the meridional chain ( Meridianal'Nyj ) between the Eastern Shater in the north and Pik Druzhba in the south. In the north is the Engiltschek Pass ( 5310 m ), in the south there is a 5342 m high mountain saddle. A short ridge branches off the meridional chain from the summit of Pik Thorez to the west. The Khan Tengri rises 8.9 km northwest.
The Demtschenko glacier lies on the northwest flank and the Druzhba glacier on the southwest flank . Both are tributary glaciers of the southern Engiltschek Glacier, which runs to the west . The eastern flank of Pik Thorez is drained by the Tugbelchi glacier .
