It is a branch of Qionglai mountains, 5484 meters above sea level, facing Yaomei peak of Siguniang mountain. The mountain is mainly composed of hard granite. Due to weathering, the rocks are relatively broken. Camel peak has two peaks in the East and West, which are called East peak and West Peak in the industry. A glacier grows in the depression. Several glaciers extend to 4800 meters below the glacier tongue. The glacier is stable and fluctuates greatly. There are several sections of ice and snow slopes above 40 degrees on the climbing Road (south slope), which are in danger of flowing snow and small avalanches. To climb camel's peak from the south, you need to go through Changping gully of Siguniang mountain, and then rise to the base camp at an altitude of 4600 at the bottom of the gully. Its north side is in bipenggou. It is hard to climb because of its cliffs. Compared with the big peak and the second peak of Siguniang mountain, camel peak is a snow mountain in the true sense, with no snow melting all the year round and permanent glaciers. In the process of climbing, the terrain is complex, including rolling stones, steep slopes, edge ridges, glaciers and snow slopes
