Khan-Tengry Peak and Lenin peak ascention

This mountaineering expedition includes ascents of two 7000+m summits within Kyrgyzstan – Lenin Peak (7134 m) and Khan Tengri Peak (7010 m).

The first summit to climb will be Lenin Peak in the Pamir Mountains. Lenin Peak (7134 m) is one of the most popular and accessible and hence most frequented 7000+ m summits in the Pamir Mountains. It is situated on the Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan border and is part of the “Snow leopard” mountain climbing program.

We organize a mountain climbing tour to the Lenin Peak by the classical route from the north via the Razdelnaya Peak. Due to its significant altitude, dangerous glacier crevasses, and severe weather conditions, this mountain-climbing program is definitely categorized as high-altitude climbing and extreme sport entailing significant risks to one’s health and life. In order to succeed a climber must be in a good physical condition and be properly acclimatized, have appropriate climbing gear, as well as be experienced in climbing to 5000+ m mountain peaks. The Base Camp of Lenin Peak is located in a green zone at an altitude of 3600 m, which allows climbers to better recover after the ascent of the first seven-thousander during the acclimatization period.

After that, without leaving the territory of Kyrgyzstan, we will transfer to another picturesque high-altitude region in order to ascent the Khan Tengri Peak (7010 m). The Khan Tengri Peak, also known as the “Lord of the Sky” is a gorgeous pyramid shaped peak in the Tian Shan Mountains with an incredible geometric symmetry. It is located at the border of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and China. The climbing route is much more difficult than the one to the Lenin Peak, and requires an even more thorough physical training, as well as advanced level of climbing technique and handling mountaineering equipment. During this tour, we offer to climb the Khan Tengri Peak from both the south or the north.

Climbing of two 7000+ m peaks in one season is a very serious attempt at completing the “Snow Leopard” mountaineering award. The expedition belongs to the extreme sports category, and is to be pursued only by mountain climbers with substantial experience in high-altitude mountaineering.

  1. How do I book services of high-altitude guide?
    You may order for the services of high-altitude guide beforehand through e-mail while in the correspondence with our agency.
    The cost of the guide’s services: 2500 USD
  2. Should mountaineers have the insurance?
    The insurance is compulsory and always advisable in case of unforeseen circumstances.
    Common sense has to provide it in order to feel safety on a mountain, as the services of rescue team costs a lot.
    We suggest total sum insured for your extreme mountaineering policy to be 30,000 USD per person per accident.
    The most expensive part is usage of a helicopter.
    We don’t arrange policy. It’s necessary to get it in your country before the expedition.
    Requirements for insurance policy:
    • The sum of the policy must cover not less than USD 30000;
    • In the field "occupation" (or "sports practice") "Mountaineering" must be notified;
    • As Country of stay - Kyrgyzstan;
    • The effective dates of the insurance policy must be included and coincide with the dates of Stay in Kyrgyzstan;
    • The insurance policy must cover at least "first aid" and "transport of affected by helicopter if necessary" (be sure of this point to be included during the formalization of the insurance policy).
    Note:
    Before the formalization of the policy, make sure which assistant operates the insurance company in question.
    Please remember: our company does not work with GLOBAL VOYAGER assistant. In case the client has purchased an insurance policy in any company whose assistant is GLOBAL VOYAGER, medical and transportation expenses will be borne by the client involved.
  3. What are minimal technical qualification requirements for climbing Khan-Tengry Peak?
    Khan-Tengry Peak is a difficult summit to climb, as technically so as physically. You shouldn’t try to make an ascent having experience of some easy routes and without certain climbing experience.Traditionally before the meeting with this Mountain, it’s better to make ascents to the peaks: Lenin Peak, Muztag-Ata Peak. They are not so difficult technically, but allow understanding how altitude influences your organism.Essential is your sound physical sporting conditions and good acclimatization (especially if you don’t have any previous high-altitude ascent experience). You can begin to train and acclimatize even before the arrival to the Base Camp, as it’s located at the height of 4000m. If you have no such opportunity, it’s necessary to do it on the glacier of Southern Inylchek. There are a lot of possibilities for such acclimatization routes. (Look information about routes here and at our web-site)There is one more important factor - person who’s going with you. Though everybody’s “dying” alone there should be the person who can share the difficulty of the expedition with you - share tent, meal, rope, gas. To have such experienced man in the team is very important: he won’t panic in any extreme situation and help you with advice or action at right moment. We suggest that you book services of our mountain guide.
    Do not forget to see our doctor before starting the climb!
  4. What about meals?
    You will be provided with 3-time-a-day full meals at the Base Camp. But at Camp 1, Camp 2, Camp 3 and Camp 4 you will have to organise your own meals. So, highly suggested that you bring your high-altitude foodstuff with you (from country of your original departure), as you won’t be able to find it in Bishkek.
  5. What kind of climbing equipment do I need?
    Extreme and unpredictable weather, altitude and expedition itself demands reliable equipment. In order to succeed in ascending to Khan-Tengry Peak we would suggest that your high-quality reliable climbing equipment would include as follows: a pair of high-altitude mountain plastic double boots, a pair of tracking boots/shoes. Shoes should be free and comfortable upon walking. Warm breeches for the height higher than 4500m, warm mittens, gloves, a warm hat, a cap, a rainproof costume, woollen socks (2-3 pairs), warm sweater or jacket, a high-altitude tent, a rug/sleeping pad, a down sleeping-bag (capable of withstanding a frost down to -10C - - 20C), a rucksack (60-100 litre big), , high-altitude sun glasses (make sure you have a spare one!), a tube of UV skin protection cream (factor 25 and higher), a lipstick, a face-protecting mask, a personal high-altitude first-aid kit, a pair of telescopic ski poles, an ice-axe, crampons, a helmet, a basic rope (8-11 mm diameter, 20-30m long), safety system (a “cradle”), “jumar”, carabineers (3-5 pieces), ice- screws (2 pieces), a safety halyard (diameter 4-5 mm, 2-3 m long), a head- or flash-light, a down jacket and pants.
  6. What currency is in circulation in the Base Camp?
    In Bishkek (starting point) you can change your hard currency into local currency - Som. At the Base Camp traditionally US dollars, Euro, Kyrgyz Som are used.
  7. How do I pay for my tour?
    Order of payment:
    - Member’s request for participation in Khan-Tengry / (Pobeda) peak expedition is registered after making 30% pre-payment from the cost of chosen package, it should be done not later then 1 month before the date of season starts (July 5th). Member should send to us scanned copy of payment order by e-mail.
    - Not later then 2 weeks before the date of arrival member should confirm (or cancel) his participation in the program, and he should make payment of the rest sum from chosen package, having sent to us scanned copy of payment order by e-mail.
  8. Are there fixed ropes along the route of ascent?
    Yes, there are fixed ropes along the route. The route of ascent along Western ridge has fixed ropes at all dangerous and difficult parts. Our high-altitude guides do it at the beginning of the season. Fixed ropes will make you ascent easier up to the summit and they will be very useful for fast descent to the Base Camp. Be careful while choosing the rope: there are often old and shabby ropes along the route!
  9. Which documents should I have and what is the procedure of registration in OVIR (local registration department)?
    It’s necessary to have passport upon arrival to the country.
    For free staying on the territory of Kyrgyzstan and in the Base Camp you must get registration in OVIR (local registration department) during 5 days. Also it’s necessary to have a border permit, because state border with China goes quite close.
    The permit is arranged for a long time, that’s why it’s better to send your passport details a month before arrival. We need the following:
    - Full name
    - № of passport
    - The place and date of issue
    - The date of birth
    - The place of birth
    - Home stay
  10. Where can I buy the permit for ascent?
    You don’t need the permit for ascent.

Tactic of ascention to Khan-Tengry Peak

Scheme of expedition to Khan-Tengry Peak

Base Camp (4000 m) to Camp 1 (4200 m).
The route begins from the BC located at the left-hand side moraine of the South Inilchek Glacier at the point of the glacier’s meeting with the Zvezdochka glacier, approximately at 4,000m above see level. Thence the route lies along the central part of the South Inilchek Glacier towards Camp 1 (4,200m). Camp 1 is usually set at junction between South Inilchek Glacier and Semenovskiy Glacier on the right-hand side moraine at the foot of the Peak Chapaev.

Camp 1 (4200 m) to Camp 2 (5300 m).
You uphill along the Semenovskiy Glacier keeping at the ice-fall. Upper reaches of the glacier are objectively dangerous due to possible icefalls rushing down from the Peak Chapaev and Peak Khan-Tengry. We highly recommend your very early start in the morning and going in non-stop regime for as long as possible. The icefall is passed either frontally through or bypassed on the slopes of the Peak Chapaev. Second option is faster but more risky than the first one due to high possibility of avalanches and rock-falls from the slopes of the Peak Chapaev. It is advisable that you move on the belay due to abundance of crevasses on the body of the glacier. Having passed the icefall, you carry on to the upper cirque of the Semenovskiy Glacier housing Camp 2 (5,300m). Traditionally, this camp is used during first acclimatization foray. But then at the second foray they usually uphill from Camp 1 straight to Camp 3.

Camp 2 (5300 m) to Camp 3 (5900 m).
From Camp 2 uphill on rather gentle slope to the upper reaches of the Semenovskiy Glacier keeping towards the saddle lying between Peak Khan-Tengry and the arm of the Peak Chapaev. You set your Camp 3 (5,900m) at the left-hand-side part of the saddle. You may either put up tents or dig out burrows (caves) in the snow. Should you have luck, you may find and use burrows left by somebody else climbing before you.

Camp 3 (5,900m) to Camp 4 (6400 m).
From Camp 3 the route goes on through the saddle and along the western ridge of Peak Khan-Tengry. Passage on the ridge, as a rule, is secured by ropes fixed along the whole extent of the ridge. Beware of old worn-out fixed ropes often found on the way – these are ropes left by previous expeditions and they may be dangerous. Double your attentiveness! Up to 6,900m the route goes on the rocks, then on the snow cupola that turn into the narrow snow “knife” (crest) leading to the apex. Spots good for camping are available at heights 6200 m, 6400 m and 6700 m. If needed, Camp 4 can set up there; most convenient spot is at 6400 m.

Uphill to the top of the Peak Khan-Tengry (6995 m). Downhill to Camp 3 (5900 m).
Till altitude 6,700m you uphill on the right-hand side of the western ridge. From altitude 6,700m carry on traversing to the right towards couloir. Take up the rocky wall 10m-high at the mouth of the couloir. Thence along the couloir, then keeping on the right again. Climb up the rocks to get to the small snow crest turning into the small rocky wall 20m-high giving way to the apex. The summit is marked by rather unimpressive metal tripod.
You are on the top, Hurray! The entire Tian- Shan lies underneath your feet! In case of good weather, take 20 to 30 minutes’ break for photographing and enjoying the moment of victory, then – begin downhill, as your way down is no less hard and risky than your way up is.
