Lenin Peak

Lenin Peak rises to 7,134 meters in the Trans-Alay Range, featuring sixteen established climbing routes across its northern and southern slopes.

First climbed in September 1928 by German and Austrian mountaineers during a Soviet-German scientific expedition through the northeast ridge route.

The mountain carries multiple names across borders: Lenin Chokusu in Kyrgyzstan and Qullai Abuali ibni Sino in Tajikistan, reflecting regional traditions.

The climbing season requires three weeks of preparation, including multiple acclimatization periods at different camps starting from the base at 3,600 meters.

An avalanche in 1990 led to the mountain's deadliest incident, resulting in 43 casualties and prompting significant changes in safety protocols.
