Overview
 | The Seerdengpu(Yerenfuan) is a knife edged rock peak in southwestern China. September 13th 2010, Chad Kellog and Dylan Johnson made first ascent via the Northeast Ridge. Seerdengpu is part of the Four Girls Mountains, a beautiful Nature Reserve with many sharp rock peaks, lakes and marshes. Glaciers shaped the area in a distant past. The highest peak in the region is Four Girls Mountain itself, reaching up to 6250m. The area is known for it’s abundance of blooming flowers and alpine plants. Also, a lot of medicinal herbs can be found. The Four Girls region is at the east end of the Tibetan cultural sphere. Many Tibetans live in this area for more than 1000 years. The main living basis is pasturage and agriculture.
