Right. It's north of Otorten though, not on the Dyatlov Group's planned route, but still...

"There are no sacred mountains"
Where is this quote from?

I have an article about the Mansi involvement in the Dyatlov case: https://dyatlovpass.com/in-a-country-of-mysterious-signs

Also a very strong guy with a dog called Ural from our 2022 expedition continued to Manpupuner 50 km (3 mi) away.
You can see photos. His dog was not afraid to chase after bears on the Dyatlov pass, videos on the same link.

This comes close to „There are no sacred mountains“:

„Mansi don't have a Prayer Mountain nowadays, I don't pray and I do not know of a Prayer Mountain. I don't believe it exists.“

Apparently Man-pupu-ner is Mansi and means a small mountain of idols. They used to worship them and nobody was supposed to scale them, but these days tourists do.

I wondered if the "artist" who made that awful blown concrete and (Sochi-games statuette?) statue on the pass got his inspiration from Manpupuner.

There's another quite staggering natural wonder in Russia called The Pillars Of Lena, or Lenskiye Stolby. 25 miles of countless limestone pillars along a river bank, some 900ft tall.

As regards the DPI peaks not holding any spiritual significance to the Mansi, I can believe that of the barren peak that is 1079, but surely not Otorten where 9 of their own froze to death. That would be their spiritual resting place.
