Overview

Peak Lenin 7134m is the perfect first 7000er: technically straightforward, beautiful scenery and a fantastic long summit ridge offering outstanding views across the entire Pamir mountain range!

Situated in the remote and beautiful Pamir mountain range of Kyrgyzstan, Peak Lenin is one of the five famous Snow Leopard Peaks. Often dubbed as one of the ‘easiest’ 7000ers in the world, it offers a non-technical climb on glaciers, snow and rocks into a magical high altitude world.

 

Organised and lead by Mountain Expeditions

Mountain Expeditions are expedition specialists and the Himalayas are the world’s greatest playground! We love organising and delivering expeditions to Nepal and do so with a friendly and supportive approach. We understand that joining any of our expeditions is a big deal, so we try and make sure everything is perfect from start to finish.

 

UK Expedition Leader

Mountain Expeditions employ a small number of the UK’s most experienced High Altitude Expedition Leaders and we will always send a UK Expedition Leader to facilitate your expedition. All of our leaders are chosen on their individual merits which we base on their mix of vast mountain experience, interpersonal skills and of course, qualifications.

 

Local Guides

With all our expeditions we partner with the very best local in-country agencies who share our ethos of delivering outstanding expeditions. We believe that a combined leadership team built of a UK Expedition Leader and a highly experienced local guide is the strongest and most successful way to deliver our expeditions. For Peak Lenin a local guide will be with the team throughout the entire expedition and, if ratio’s require it, additional local guides will be used for the summit attempt.

 

Fully supported by local cooks, porters & guides

The truth behind organising and leading worldwide expeditions is that you need an excellent local in-country agent to work with. Over the years Mountain Expeditions have developed a long standing relationships with our local crew in Kyrgyzstan and the added value of our friendly and efficient local staff never goes unnoticed – we know it makes a big difference to your experience. Our local team are a huge part of your experience and it makes all the difference on the mountain.

 

Small teams & personal approach – maximum 8

On big mountains like Peak Lenin we don’t believe leading Open Expedition teams of 10+ members is good practice and it certainly doesn’t offer a very personable experience! All our Open Expedition teams are capped at 8 resulting in a close knit, small team experience.

 

Very high summit success rate

We believe that our summit success rate is down to a combination of smaller teams and using the most experienced High Altitude Expedition Leaders. This combination has shown time and time again that this is the safest approach whilst on the mountain.

 

21 day itinerary with a superb acclimatisation profile

Our itinerary has been chosen to make this expedition the very best we believe it can be. We’ve included an entire preparation day in Osh which allows time for people to rest after a long flight, time for any lost luggage to catch up with us and time for your Expedition Leader to do a full kit and medical check before a relaxed expedition briefing with a cold beer!

 

A perfect first big 7000m mountain

There are many reasons people choose to climb big mountains and many reasons why you might choose to climb Peak Lenin. Please read our Trip Suitability section to find out more.

 

Accommodation: Hotel & tents

Many of our expeditions start and finish in a bustling city in a really nice hotel. Maybe it’s first and last impressions that count or perhaps we just enjoy having nice accommodation to start and finish a trip but it’s what we do! On Peak Lenin we use our favourite hotel in Osh and we ensure that camplife is as comfortable as possible on the mountain.
