The massif consists of a main peak, which stands at 576.7 metres, and several smaller, dome-shaped peaks. Since 1972, the northeastern slope of the massif in the USSR, Ukraine, and later in Russia has been designated as a specially protected natural area.

== Etymology == "Perchem" translates from the Crimean Tatar language to mean "fringes". The tops of the massif still have a wooded cover, while steppe glades can be found at the summit and southern spurs of the Shibliak. The words "" () and "" () are translated as "rock" and "hill" respectively.
