- Lenin Peak (7134 m) is especially popular among the seven-thousands because it is considered the easiest to climb. Yes, there are no technical difficulties on it, like other peaks; however, to call the mountain simple, the language does not turn.
A successful ascent requires a responsible approach to the organization of the expedition. An appropriate level of fitness, mountaineering skills, and prior altitude experience are required. The main difficulties faced by mountain climbers climbing Lenin Peak are altitude, low temperatures, periods of bad weather, and glacial cracks.
Some history information:
Lenin Peak is one of the highest peaks in Central Asia (7134 m), part of the Chon-Alai (Trans-Alai) ridge system. In turn, this ridge is included in the Pamir system. In 2006, by the government of Tajikistan, the mountain was given a new name in honor of Abu Ali ibn Sina, a medieval thinker and physician known in Western culture as Avicenna. However, in Kyrgyzstan, it is still called in the old way. The mention of Lenin's Peak first occurs in the descriptions of the Russian geographer A.P. Fedchenko, dated 1871.
In 1928 a Soviet-German expedition to the Pamirs was organized. One of the goals was to study the Zaalayskiy ridge and its central peak, discovered by A.P. Fedchenko and considered the highest point of the USSR. In the same year, Kaufman Peak was renamed Lenin Peak.
In September 1928, after completing the main work in the expedition, its German participants decided to attempt an ascent. The ascent route was established in the summer. Future climbers had to enter the river's upper reaches-Saukdary along the southern slope of the Trans-Alai Range. Having reached the source of the river, three German climbers - E. Allwein, E. Schneider, and K. Wien (E. Allwein, E. Schneider, K. Wien) - began to move along the Big Saukdara glacier. On September 25, 1928, they set out from the saddle in the Zaalaysky ridge with a height of 5820 m (later called the Krylenko Pass) and along the eastern ridge 15.30 reached the summit of Lenin Peak.
In 1934 a new expedition to the summit began this time from the north, from the Achik-Tash gorge in the Alaia valley, along the Lenin glacier's western branch. On September 8, three climbed to the top through the rocks that later received the name Lipkin: Kasyan Chernukha, Vitaly Abalakov and Ivan Lukin.
