Description
“Snow Leopard” it the title given to mountaineers who have climbed all five seven-thousand-meters high peak of former USSR: Pobeda Peak, Somoni Peak, Korzhenevska Peak, Khan Tengri and Lenin Peak. Completing all the ascenst is a very demanding mountaineering challenge. To turn this dream into a plan, you must first divide it into stages. The first of them should be Lenin Peak.
The mountain is often called the easiest seven-thousander in the world. In fact is technically relatively easy. But still it is a seven thousand meter peak, so some difficulties are inevitable: steep and precipitous terrain, larde glacier crevasses etc. Lenin Peak has a good base camp infrastructure. The bace camp can be reached relatively easily and quickly. In addition, the expedition to Lenin Peak is really unexpensive in comparison to other peaks over 7,000 meters high.
Lenin Peak attracts many mountaineers every year. However, most of them fail to reach the summit. Only about 10% of the daredevils do it. There is also a lot of accidents at Lenin Peak, mainly caused by insufficient preparation and wrong decisions. This proves that the term “easy seven-thousand” is in fact not accurate. Because there are no easy seven-thousanders.
That is why the proper organization of the expedition to Lenin Peak is so important. Every detail can be crucial. Proper preparation of participants of the expedition, proper logistics and planning, choosing the best tactics and proper team management. Our leaders, who have been at the summit many times, do their best to arrange all these issues. We will support you at every stage: from advising which climbs will be the best training before Lenin Peak and how to prepare to maximize your chances for the success, through the proper organization of the expedition, leading acclimatization ascents, and finally leading and managing the summit push.
We designed the schrdule of the expedition to Lenin Peak so that mambers had chance to acclimatize properly and safely carry out the summit push. We have nineteen days plus two reserve days for mountain activities above the base camp. In the base and camp one we use the full package of services, including full board and comfortable accommodation. In high mountains, thereshould be no compromise on such critical issues.
