Lenin Peak 2024

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Kyrgyzstan:

Yesterday we reached Camp One at an altitude of 4300m. A lot of snow. The camp is comfortable, the tents are great, the food is great. Here we met our first group under the leadership of Viktor Volodin. Tonight they went to storm Lenin Peak.

The 7 Summits Club and 8000 Club guide Viktor Volodin reports:

Good day to all! The "Oktyabryata" group has decided to postpone the assault on Lenin Peak due to the fact that we have only collected 90 thousand wishes for a successful ascent. We decided to wait another day to get a round number - one hundred thousand. So we are leaving tonight. Everything is fine with us, everyone is determined to win, the team members are feeling great.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club Viktor Volodin:

 Yesterday, on July 4, the Octobrata group in full force safely descended to the First Camp. The weather was favorable for us: it was not very hot and the "Frying pan" was passed under a fresh breeze. A delicious lunch was waiting for us at the camp. There are much more people here.  It snowed all night today and the weather is "not very good" in the morning. Well, we have a rest day.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club Viktor Volodin reports:

Today, on July 3, the Octobrata group left the Second Camp for an acclimatization climb towards the summit of Razdelnaya. The weather was windy, but also sunny. The participants feel good. We had a great walk. But after lunch, the snow begins to melt very much and I had to re-trail and fall through. Everyone went down to Camp 2, tired but happy.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club Viktor Volodin:

  Today, the group of the 8000 Club "Octobrata" left at one o'clock in the morning in order to acclimatize to Camp 2 on the slopes of Lenin Peak. Next, the plan involves a radial rptation to Camp 3, with two overnight stays in the Second Camp. The weather doesn't spoil us much, it snowed again, we had to trail, even though there was a group in front of us. We arrived at the Second camp at 11 o'clock, but the bad weather continues. It was good that the camp was ready for our arrival. A large tent was set up for us, which is convenient for everyone to gather in.

Victor Volodin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Kyrgyzstan:

Good day to all! June 30th is on the calendar. The group of the 7 Summits Club "Octobrata" in full force today made an acclimatization ascent on Yukhin Peak (5130 m). The participants feel good, everyone is happy and satisfied. Tomorrow, according to the plan, is a day of rest and preparation for going to the Second camp. The weather is good from morning to lunch, then a charge of snow, everything is restored in the evening.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Kyrgyzstan:

Hello everyone! Today, the group of the 7 Summits Club "Octobrata" in full health and good mood started from the base camp to the First camp at 4400. The route ran along a good path through the Travelers' pass. Six hours later, without straining, we were there. At the camp, we were greeted with delicious watermelon, melon and a delicious lunch. Everything is very well organized here. After lunch, there was rest and preparation for tomorrow, for a walk on the glacier and snow-ice training sessions.

The weather is great and we, the Octobrata group, went together in a row to the acclimatization rotation. As a result, the participants crossed the four thousandth milestone. After lunch, we are preparing for tomorrow's departure to the First Camp.

The group of the 7 Summits Club "Octobrata" left the glorious and warm city of Osh today and arrived at the Achik-Tash Glade after seven hours of driving. There we were very warmly welcomed and settled in comfortable yurts, with all amenities. The base camp is very conveniently located and well equipped.
