Mount Bazardüzü (Template:Lang-az, Azerbaijani pronunciation: [bɑzɑrdyˈzy]; Template:Lang-lez Template:IPA-cau; Template:Lang-ru, Russian pronunciation: [bəzərdʲʉˈzʲu]) is a mountain peak in the Greater Caucasus range on the border between Dagestan and Azerbaijan. At 4,466 metres (14,652 ft) above sea level, it is the highest peak in both Dagestan and Azerbaijan, and is located in the Qusar region. The southernmost point of Daghestan is located about seven kilometers southwest of the peak.Translated from Azerbaijani, Bazarduzu means “market square”, more precisely as a specific landmark - “turn to the market, bazaar” [source not specified 736 days]. The fact is that in antiquity and the Middle Ages in the Shahnabad Valley, located east of this peak, annual large multinational fairs were held. They gathered at the merchants and buyers of not only the nearest peoples of the East Caucasus.
Climbing
G. P. Baker and G. Yeld were the first men climbing the Mount in 1890 when the first ascent was recorded. Summer is considered the most appropriate period to climb the peak.[2] There are two approaches to the Mount: one from the northeast and another from the southwest. In the northeast climbs can begin from the villages of Khinalig (region of Guba) and Laza (region of Gusar). The southwest approach starts from the regional centre of Gabala - from two villages: one is Laza (the same name with the one in Gusar) and the other one is Gamarvan. The flood plain of the river Yatukhdara (Yatuxdərə) is the starting point of the summit at 2800 m.[3]
