More info about Mountain Climbing in Kyrgyz Pamir:

A great summit to climb is Mount Lenin. This is often referred to as one of the easiest 7,000-meter mountaineering challenges but this is misleading. It’s not easy and needs a lot of advanced planning. A good way to see if you’re ready for Lenin is to climb Razdelnaya Peak which sits at 6,100 meters or Yukhin peak at 5,100m. Much of this territory was formerly part of the Soviet Union. As such the mountains had Soviet names. Since independence, many of the names were changed. However in some cases, notably Lenin Peak, the Soviet names continue to be used
