Lenin peak’s range climbing

Situated in the Pamirs on the border between Kyrgyzstan and Tadjikistan, close to the borders with China and Afghanistan, Lenin Peak is one of five of 7000+ m tall summits in the former USSR. With its 7,134 meters it is the third highest summit among the others: Peak Communism (7,495m) and Korzhenevsky (7,105m), both in the Pamirs, and Peak Pobeda (7,439m) and Khan Tengri (7,010m) in the Tien Shan. If someone climbed all five, then got into the elite club of Russian climbers known as Snow Leopards. Lenin Peak is considered the most accessible of 7000+ m summits. There is a good road going almost to the foot of the peak. Also climbing Lenin Peak by the traditional route via Razdelnaya peak is almost no technical climbing involved.

Route Description

Base camp is situated on a raised meadow between two steep river valleys. The ground is a carpet of wild garlic and alpine flowers. From BC we head over the Puteshestvinnikov Pass (4,200m). The ascent usually takes 1-1.5 hours by a good path. Sometimes there is snow on the pass. Then we descend to the left moraine of the Lenin glacier. Further we should cross the river carefully. The best time for crossing is early morning, as the river rises rapidly throughout at this time. Across the left moraine of glacier to the Lenin glacier (4,100m) and hike to camp 1 (4,400m).

From camp 1 at 4,400 meters, we cross the dry Lenin Glacier and ascend the long snow slopes which run directly to the summit (north face). At 5,000 meters we traverse to the west and, ascending gently, we arrive at the rim of a large snow basin. We cross this, traversing beneath Razdelnaya Peak. A short climb up a scree/snow slope leads to camp 2 (5,300 m). There are a few crevasses on this section of the route but it is straightforward snow plodding. It is, however, a long and tiring day, and an early start is needed to avoid the worst effects of the sun.

Normally, the program of ascent to Lenin peak does not include the ascent to the peak Razdelnaya, but still … directly above camp 2 is an easy-angled couloir which leads to the north ridge of Razdelnaya Peak (6,148 meters). Initially the ridge is almost level, but as one approachs Razdelny Peak the angle steeples. The final 400 meter climb to the summit of Razdelny Peak is straight-forward but the effects of altitude make it hard work. The views from the summit are superb. To the north we can finally get the true perspective of the Alai Plain while to the south there are a multitude of snowy peaks. Peak Communism and Korzhenevsky dominate our view of the south Pamirs. Further east the Wakhan and Hindu Kush are clearly visible, and on a good day it is possible to make out Tirich Mir. From Razdelny Peak the ridge dog-legs to the west and drops down 48 meters to Razdelny Pass at 6,100 meters. It is here that we will make camp 3.

From camp 3 the whole of the summit ridge is visible. From here one has two options. Either to climb directly to the summit and back to camp 3 in one long day, or to place a fourth camp at about 6,400 meters. From camp 3 we follow the broad ridge to a plateau (the site of optional camp 4) at 6,400 meters. We traverse this back to the ridge proper where it steepens to form a short step which is turned on the north side. Above this the ridge is broken and rocky until we reach a large snow plateau. We traverse this and rejoin the ridge just below the summit.

The summit at 7,134 meters is crowned by a number of plaques, including one of Lenin himself. The views, as you would expect, are outstanding and stretch right across the Pamirs to Mustagh Ata and Kongur in China. Further in the distance is the Hindu Kush and further west still the Karakoram.
