Description

Lenin Peak, rising to 7,134 meters, is renowned as one of the most accessible 7,000-meter peaks globally, attracting numerous climbers annually. Its straightforward approach from the Kyrgyz side, with a road extending nearly to its base, facilitates this accessibility. Achieving its summit brings climbers closer to joining the esteemed "Snow Leopard" club, which recognizes ascents of the highest peaks in the former Soviet Union.

The expedition commences in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan's capital, followed by a flight to Osh. From Osh, a drive along the picturesque Pamir Highway leads to the Achik-Tash Base Camp at 3,600 meters. Here, amidst alpine meadows adorned with wildflowers, preparations for the ascent begin.

The itinerary includes acclimatization climbs, such as an ascent to Petrovskogo Peak (4,830 meters), allowing the guide to assess participants' climbing proficiency. The subsequent days involve gradual ascents to higher camps, interspersed with rest periods to ensure optimal acclimatization and energy conservation for the summit push.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
