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.
