Pik Semionova Tien-Shanskogo

Pik Semionova Tien-Shanskogo rises to 4,895 meters within the Tien Shan mountain range, forming a natural boundary between the Ala-Archa and Alamedin rivers.

The mountain received its name from Peter Semenov-Tian-Shansky, a Russian geographer who conducted extensive explorations throughout Central Asia during the nineteenth century.

The peak holds significance in Kyrgyz mountaineering traditions, with local climbing clubs establishing multiple routes of varying difficulties for ascents to the summit.

Climbers typically establish a base camp at 3,900 meters on the Uchitel Glacier before attempting the northwest face, which involves snow, ice, and rock climbing techniques.

The mountain's northwest face presents a 1,000-meter climbing challenge that combines steep snow shoulders, technical rock sections, and exposed ridge traverses.
