@@evgenysokolov7146 congratulations! It was the same for us..due to bad weather we had to stay 4 days at the base camp before we took our last chance for summiting
Great video, really enjoyed the calm and relaxing music and the scenic view. In addition to that, congrats on your summit success! I am planning to go to Lenin Peak next year, so I have a couple of questions. In your answer to 'user sunshine' as to why you decided to go back to BC instead of summiting on day 8 of your climb, you said the reason was acclimatization because it takes about 2 weeks at that altitude. Are you saying that it would have been too dangerous to try to summit that day, or did you decide not to do it because it wasn't part of the plan? Realistically speaking, do you think it is possible to get to the top in 7-10 days with adequate preparation? MAX
Thank you:) Yes, it was our plan to do an acclimatization hike to camp 3, and to descent back to base camp for regeneration. Nevertheless it wouldn’t heave been possible to summit on day 8 due to windy weather condition but also due to the acclimatization. I’m really not sure if it’s possible to summit after 7 days. Maybe after 10 days. But I definitely recommend to schedule enough time for the whole trip! It would be much saver and increases your chances for summiting. For example we had to wait for two extra days in base camp and as well in camp 1 due to bad weather.
Hello man ..excellent video..amazaing views... May i know which agency you have hired ?? And how long is tve duration for summit push ?? Thanks in advance💐💐💐💐💐
Question: why acclimatize so fast up to 6100m? Seems to put high stress on your lungs and performance. Then by running down BC to regenerate because you lost strength, you lose valuable adaptation time higher up. Others acclimatize slowly, spending about 3 days at each new altitude before summiting. Regenerate with bad weather rest days on the way up. What do you think of this? What would you prefer if you could choose? I´m considering going up this year, that´s why I ask. "Slow" scheme looks like this. Two days for travel to BC, 3.600m. Day 3 sort out equipment, get to know each other. Day 4 acclimatization to 4000m, sleep BC. Day 5 up to camp I, 4.400m, sleep BC. Day 6 up to camp I and rest, sleep there. Days 7-8 reserve days for rest/ bad weather (sleep BC or camp I). Day 9 acclimatization to 5.000m, sleep camp I. Day 10 up to camp II, 5.300m, sleep camp I. Day 11 up to camp II and rest, sleep there. Day 12 acclimatization to 5.800, sleep camp II. Day 13 up to camp III, 6.100m, sleep camp II. Day 13 up to camp III and rest, sleep there. Days 14-15 reserve days for rest/ bad weather (sleep camp II or III). Day 16 summit day 7.134m, sleep camp III. Day 17 down to BC, 3.600m. Day 18-19 travel back home. In this way, you spend 13 days between 3.600m and 6.100m, slowly going up, giving your body ample time to adapt. Average sleeping altitude using this way is about 4.900m. Logistics: from Camp I you carry your food for Day 11-17 = 7 days up the mountain. Send your food for Day 6-10 ahead with from BC to camp I with the horses. Let me know what you all think.
Theoretically I would say, that the way you described the acclimatization process would make more sense. But I think, their are many different ways for a proper acclimatization that can work similarly well. For me and the other members of my group it was adequate to start the acclimatization at 3600m. You described a relatively linear step-like process with only a view rest days. And your plan is to stay many days and nights above camp 1. The problem is, that camp 2 and camp 3 aren’t very comfortable. While the sun shines it gets very hot, it can get very windy or snowy and it’s laborious to get enough food and water. And depending on the weather conditions there are sometimes only short windows during which you can go higher than camp 1. So in my opinion it made sense how we did it. For me it felt very effective to regenerate at lower altitude after reaching camp 3 quit fast. Maybe it would have been even more effective to stay at camp 1 instead of the base camp. But the comfortable situation and the good food in the lower camps was worth its weight in gold to gain strength for the summit. Nevertheless I’m not an expert in high altitude climbing (it was my first 7000m peak). But it was a common strategy as we did it. And when you look at the acclimatization concepts for Everest (as an example), it’s normal to go down to the base camp several times. In any case, i wish you a nice time at Lenin Peak with a good acclimatization that works for you:)
I did the trip with a guide, knew from previous climbs (Elbrus and Mera Peak). But i think there are many groups which are directly organized by Askai Travels :)
Very successful video and congratulations on the summit success. Is that the Mountain Equipment K7 jacket (26:21) by any chance? I'm still looking for one. I am currently using The North Face LP6 Cloud Down. It's perfect for a winter climb of Mont Blanc, I just don't know if it's enough for Lenin Peak...
I’m glad that you like the video:). Yes, I used the K7. Do you know the amount of down filling of you north face jacket? The K7 is filled with 300g (L).
@@jan-sebastianszczepaniak3916 300g (800cuin) should work! As you mentioned, you still have the other layers. For me the most critical parts of my body were my fingers and my toes, although I was wearing 8000er boots and mittens.
@@maltmountain just looked at your other videos they are amazing and a further enrichment for all alpinists. Thank you for all the answers.. Congratulations on your achievements! Is it possible to ask some further questions on Instagram as well? Best regards
Thank you so much for sharing! It gives a good idea of the difficulty, the time, and the logistics! I'm hoping to go one day, I only need a partner to go with. Which agency did you go with?
I'm glad you liked the video. I can definitely recommend Lenin Peak to you. It was a great experience. The organization was called Bask Tours. I already knew the guide from previous climbs (Elbrus and Mera Peak).
I really like the timelapse feature on the GoPro. Low-light shots can be more challenging. From a technical standpoint, Mont Blanc and Lenin Peak are comparable. The significant difference lies in prolonged high-altitude exposure and sleeping only in tents, making it more demanding. With sufficient fitness, however, it's still quite achievable:)
@@Rayvi Hey, I hadn't specifically trained for this before. Instead, I gradually approached the higher and colder mountains and also gained some experience camping in Northern Norway. Moreover, the Lenin Peak wasn't very technical, which made it quite manageable.
Hey, since the tent was provided for us, the backpack for Camp 1 to 3 included a mattress, sleeping bag, gas cooker, food, additional gear and extra clothing. I'd estimate it weighed around 12-15kg. The backpack for Camp 1 was a bit fuller because more clothing and the warm shoes also needed to be transported (maybe 18kg).
@@maltmountain thanks for the response I heard some stories abt people carrying up 30kg to camp1/abc with scared me a little since I weigh abt 60-65 kg and carrying 50% of my bw for 6-7 hrs don't seem great
@@maltmountain yes thats also good to keep in mind. I think il make sure to get used to around 22-24kg in my training so i have a little reserve! Got a full year to train. And managed to do a 2200m summit day with 18kg so I hope i can get fit enough in a year :)
It was planned like that. The first way up and down was just for acclimatization:). I would say you need at least 2 weeks of acclimatization before you can reach an altitude of 7000m.
@@maltmountain Ah I see. But how did that feel? To be almost on the top and to know that you will have to make the ascent ones more. I could imagine that this really sucked
@@MUndZuMUNd63 haha, i know what you mean. But for me it wasn’t like that. I really had the focus on the importance of a well planned acclimatization! That’s why the first ascent up to camp3 felt like a necessary and very productive process for me. And in the end it wasn’t just hard work to go up and down. I really enjoyed the time in the mountains:)
Yes:) apart from one or two shots during the summit day. Before sunrise it was too cold and windy for the GoPro. The battery was dead after 7 seconds. That’s why I had to use my iPhone.
@@maltmountain Thanks for information. Ararat mountain died in me, 400 meters from the summit. luckily i had a spare battery attached to my body. I'm thinking of the summit of Lenin, I wonder if I should start with the camera or go pro, I was undecided. What month did you go? What was the temperature?
@@sametbaycan7720 I made the experience that the GoPro works well as long as it’s not too cold and there is enough light. So for me the handy GoPro was adequate. Due to very cold fingers I wasn’t able to film the first parts of the summit push and the sunrise anyway, although the sunrise was really breathtaking😅. I climbed the Lenin peak in July (summit day - 25.07.2021). I heard that the best months are July and August. In July the weather condition are statistically a little bit worse (more snow and wind) but the crevasses are smaller. We were lucky to find a weather window. Apart from the summit day before sunrise the temperature was bearable. As long as there is no wind and there are no clouds it can even get extremely hot (Camp 2). So it’s difficult to name value for the temperature. It was more about the wind and the solar radiation. During the summit push the temperature was lower than -28°C and together with the strong winds I got problems with my fingers (although I had 8000m mittens). But on the top it felt like I was wearing my down jacket on the beach😅
Very nice shooting, nice music and professionaly made montage, our congratulations you have done summit
Thank you! I’m glad you like the video:)
