Peak Pobeda, Sakha, Mountain summit in Momsky District, Russia
Peak Pobeda is a mountain summit in Momsky District, Russia, standing at 3003 meters above sea level. Its ridge extends roughly 700 meters and divides naturally into three sections: East, Central, and West.
The first successful ascent took place in 1956 when V. M. Abalakov and his team established a route via the North ridge. This early climbing achievement opened the mountain to future expeditions.
The name Pobeda means Victory in Russian and reflects how the local Yakut people connect with their natural surroundings. The mountain represents part of their traditional relationship with the land and landscape.
The nearest town for permits and transport arrangements is Ust-Nera, roughly 180 kilometers to the southwest. From there, you can organize access to base camps and the mountain itself.
Italian climbers Simone Moro and Tamara Lunger achieved the first winter ascent in 2018 while enduring temperatures plunging to minus 40 degrees Celsius. This feat highlights just how harsh the conditions become during the coldest months.
