Ismoil Somoni (Communism) Peak & Korzhenevskaya (Ozodi) Peak

Two legendary 7,000-meter summits. One world-class base camp. One complete expedition solution.

Welcome to the heart of the Central Pamir — the Moskvina area — where two of the most iconic mountains on the planet rise above the Pamirskoe Plateau:

  • Ismoil Somoni Peak (formerly Communism Peak) — 7,495 m
  • Korzhenevskaya Peak (Peak Ozodi) — 7,105 m

These peaks stand face to face above massive glaciers, offering classic Soviet-era routes, extreme altitude, serious expedition logistics, and an authentic high-mountain experience for experienced alpinists.

Why the Central Pamir (Moskvina) Is Unique

  • Home to two of the three 7,000 m peaks of the Pamirs
  • Access to the Fedchenko Glacier (71.2 km) — the longest glacier in Central Asia
  • Vast, remote terrain with true expedition-style climbing
  • A shared base camp for both peaks at 4,100 m, optimizing acclimatization and logistics

Moskvina Base Camp is strategically located at the junction of the Walter(a) and Moskvina glaciers, beside an alpine lake, and serves as the operational hub for all ascents in the region.

Best Climbing Season

The Pamir climate is harsh and unpredictable, with a short but well-defined season:

Optimal window: mid-July – August 20

This period offers the most stable weather, safer glacier conditions, and established route infrastructure.

Ismoil Somoni Peak (7,495 m)

The Highest Peak of the Pamirs

A massive rock-and-ice pyramid with four major faces, Ismoil Somoni Peak represents a serious high-altitude objective even via its normal route.

Normal Route: Barodkin Ridge (North), Grade 5A

  • Classic Soviet route opened in 1968
  • Technically moderate but extremely demanding due to altitude and exposure
  • Comparable in technical difficulty to Lenin Peak, but significantly more committing

Key Features:

  • Pamirskoe Plateau (4,700–6,300 m) — one of the highest plateaus on Earth
  • Multiple high camps up to 6,900 m
  • Summit day involving steep traverses and a long final ridge

Typical ascent after acclimatization: ~7 days from Base Camp

Korzhenevskaya Peak (7,105 m)

The Perfect Companion Peak

Often climbed together with Ismoil Somoni, Korzhenevskaya Peak offers a logical progression and excellent acclimatization.

Classic Route: Southern Ridge, Grade 5A

  • First climbed in 1953
  • Long glacier approach with crevasses
  • Technical traverse sections with fixed ropes
  • A physically demanding but straightforward snow ridge to the summit

Typical ascent after acclimatization: 3–4 days

The summit provides one of the best panoramic views of Ismoil Somoni Peak in the entire Pamir.
