The Ge'nyen massif is regarded as the 13th most holy mountain amongst the 24 holy mountains of Tibetan Buddhism.
In the fall of 2006, Christine Boskoff (of Mountain Madness adventure company) and Charlie Fowler, another well-known American climber and Mountain Madness guide, went missing near Ge'nyen and it was later determined that they died in an avalanche while climbing near Lenggu Monastery on Ge'nyen Mountain in Sichuan Province in southwest China.
