A 21-day expedition to climb Lenin Peak (7134 m) at the border between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan in Pamir, together with Andrey, KMGA mountain guide.
Not specified
Tian Shan
21 Days
Jul, Aug
Lenin Peak is a border mountain between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. It is one of the most popular peaks in the world and receives hundreds of climbers every year.
Most of them choose to climb it by the Kyrgyz side, as it offers easier access and easier routes. Therefore, ascents from the Tajik side are not very common.
This peak is also popular for the hospitality of the people who live in its surroundings. The green pastures and warm weather at base camp make a big difference among other similar places in this region.
Besides, many climbers get to experience camping with nomads and enjoying horse-back rides on the grasslands. In fact, the nomadic culture is still very much alive in Kyrgyzstan.
The route is straightforward and doesn’t present any technical difficulties. However, there is some avalanche danger! Some steep ridges and an easy glacier are some of the challenges it poses. But the most important concerns are high altitude and unpredictable weather.
You need to have some mountaineering experience and be in optimal physical condition to attempt this ascent.
At 7134 m, the summit offers stunning views of the Pamir Mountains and also allows you to see Mustag-Ata and Kongur in China. Further, you can find the Hindu Kush and to the west, the Karakoram. You will find a large number of plaques at the top, including one of Lenin himself.

I was born in what is now Bishkek, the Capital City of Kyrgyz Republic (used to be Frunze, the Capital of Kyrgyz Soviet Socialist Republic) and live there ever since.
I started guiding professionally in 2004. I guide groups and individuals in technical and high altitude climbing, ski-tours, backcountry skiing, rock-climbing, ice climbing. I can also provide training facilities and organize trekking programs.
My main priorities in guiding are client safety and expedition success and therefore, my professional motto is “Never climb with strangers”.
In 2011, I finished my training with the Kyrgyz Mountain Guide School. The school is supported by Mammut and the Swiss and British Mountain Guide Associations and follows the IFMGA standards. Upon completion of the course and passing necessary tests I was qualified as a Mountain Guide. I am also qualified in mountain rescue and first aid by Mountaineering Instructor School in Kyrgyzstan (2012) and a member of the Kyrgyz Mountain Guide Association (KMGA) since the Autumn of 2009 where I serve as an instructor and examiner for the National Mountain Guide courses.
In my 13 years of guiding, I have worked all over Tien-Shan and Pamir in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and China and East Sayan and Lake Baikal areas in Russia. I have arranged several ski tour and backcountry skiing programs in the Ala Archa national park, Suusamyr valley, Kyrghyz Ala Too, Chong Kemin gorge, Kumtor glacier, and Terskey Ala Too.
In 2009-2016 I worked as a high altitude guide at the Lenin Peak (7134 m), Khan Tengri Peak (7010 m), Pobeda Peak (7439 m), and Muztag Ata Peak (7546 m). As a mountaineering expert, I also have participated in 6 expeditions.
Presently I have over 100 ascents of different difficulty. The most significant of them are: Pobeda peak (7439 m) 1 ascent; Lenin peak (7134 m) 13 ascents; Muztag Ata (7546 m) 1 ascent; Khan Tengri (7010 m) 1 ascent; Korona peak 1st tower ED2 Smirnov route, winter conditions; Free Korea peak ED1 George Lowe route, winter conditions; Bachachekey peak 4 routes ED1 Kusmenko, Shwab, Polik, Ilyshenko; Ak-Too peak TD route, first ascent, winter conditions; Tarasova(Slovenia) TD route, winter conditions; Simagina peak TD+ route, winter conditions.
My sport climbing level: 7a-7b on sight, 7c-8a red point.
