Expedition to Lenin Peak (7134 m), Pamir, Kyrgyzstan

Program

The Lenin Peak (7,134 m) today is one of the most popular, easy of access and because of that most frequented peaks among 7,000m-odd summits of Pamir. ItТs a common belief that the Lenin Peak is one of the easiest of the CISТs four 7,000m-odd peaks to climb. To the certain extent thatТs true but not in all. One should remember that the altitude over 7,000m makes the peak an object of high-altitude climbing. The route in itself is not a technically difficult one and normally is carried out by mountaineers climbing in a roped-up-pair manner.

Make Well to People

On 7th August 2007, an annual charitable action has been organised by УPamir ExpeditionsФ. The aid is not that big, really. But helping people and making them a little bit happier Ц isnТt it good?

Historical information

Fedchenko discovers the Zaalaiski Ridge with its dominating summit, and names it "Kaufman Peak" - after the that time Russian Governor General of Turkestan.1937 - first ascent of Soviet mountaineers (K.

Ascend to and over the Puteshestvennikov Pass (4,200 m) that usually takes 3 Ц 3,5 hours of walking on a good path. It may be snow lying up there.
