Know before you go

  • Climbing Lenin Peak is technically not challenging except for a few crevasses on the route between the camps at 4400 m and 5400 m, which must be passed in roped parties. This is why Lenin Peak is considered the easiest and most accessible of the world's 7000 m summits. However, this does not mean that you can neglect proper preparation for the expedition or overestimate yourself.
  • The main difference between climbing Lenin Peak and lower summits is the expedition's longer duration, accumulated psychological exhaustion, and decreased motivation. We do everything possible to help you avoid these conditions by organizing a comfortable base camp and providing diverse and plentiful food. Our guides are professional climbers, proven by more than words, with numerous ascents to 8000 m summits and years of climbing experience leading guided groups. They closely monitor the well-being of all group members and do everything possible to help them reach their goal while observing the proper level of safety. We do not save money on our clients.

  • Previous experience of staying above 5000 m altitude is a good advantage.
