Tartu Ülikool 350 (University of Tartu 350) is a mountain peak in Central Pamir. It was first reached in 1982 to mark the 350th anniversary of the founding of the University of Tartu. It is located in the Tanimas mountain range in Tajikistan. At the time of first accent it was considered to be the highest unreached peak in the territory of the former Soviet Union.[2]
The summit has been reached twice, on 3 August 1982 (group Kalev Muru, Kalle Hansen, Anu Kallavus, Andres Paris, Jaan Künnap and Kalle Aedviir), and on 31 July 2012 (group Andres Hiiemäe, Erik Jaaniso, Marko Aasa, Priit Rooden, Merili Simmer, Kristjan-Erik Suurväli, Tõnu Põld, Priit Simson, Priit Joosu, Sven Oja).[3][4]
It was first thought to rise to 6,350 meters, hence its suitability to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the university,[5] but according to the GPS-measurements made on the second ascent in 2012 the peak was actually found to be 6,258 m high.[3][4]
Near to the peak there is a 6,277-meter high Mt. J.F. Parrot that is named after Friedrich Parrot, who was a physics professor and a rector at the University of Tartu and who is considered the pioneer of scientific mountaineering.[4]
