The ascent was not easy: the Base Camp - Summit - Base Camp route takes 8-9 days, but successful acclimatization, competent planning, and most importantly, the weather factor were on our side. It was the right decision to unite with other groups on the day of the assault, snow this year is waist-deep almost all over the route, a small group cannot overcome such an obstacle.

19 people stormed out of Camp 4 under Dushanbe Peak at an altitude of 7000 m. Up to 7400 m we walked all together, and then our group, having passed the most difficult section first, reached the Crest and at 12.40 (local time) were the first to reach Summit!

The panorama from the Roof of the World, as the Pamirs are called, was amazing! Imagine, our 8000 Club flag didn't even need to be stretched, it was almost calm... This doesn't happen very often.

There was no limit to the delight and emotions of our Anastasia Panfilova!  She managed to make both peaks this season: the Peak of Korzhenevskaya and the Peak of Communism. The photos turned out great, for the first time I decided to number them so that our friends of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club could appreciate the beauty of each moment"

Greetings from Tajikistan! Sorry for the long forced silence, there was a problem with the Internet in a remote mountainous area on Moskvin's Glade. It's time to call our group "In search of Wi-Fi". During this time, we completed the acclimatization program and on July 22 we climbed the Peak of Korzhenevskaya, 7105 m. Acclimatization went according to plan, the day of the assault was chosen correctly, almost the entire group successfully reached the top. Unfortunately, one participant felt unwell in the third camp at 6300 m and nobly refused the assault, saying that he would not prevent the main group from reaching the top. The first half of the day delighted us with fantastic landscapes at the Peak of Communism and the entire ridge route of Korzhenevskaya Peak. And in the afternoon, on the contrary, it was covered with clouds, which made it easier for us to descend. The team showed indomitable character and willpower. Together with six other climbers, we were practically the first commercial group of this season on the summit that day. Before us, only a team of guides and Aksai Travel porters came to the top. As communication improves, there will also be a video as a separate block. In the meantime, we are happy and enjoying our rest at the Base Camp.

Greetings from Tajikistan! The first group in the history of the 8000 Club gathered in Dushanbe to pave the way to one of the most popular summits of the Soviet Union, Korzhenevskaya Peak, 7105 m and Peak Communism, 7495 m, now called Ismoil Somoni Peak. The city greeted us with an unbearable heat of +39, even the Tehran heat seemed cooler. In this program, the helicopter drop-off to Moskvin's Glade, to the Base Camp for both Summits, occurs several times a season, with enviable irregularity.  Therefore, we can say that we were lucky, right now, at night, we are heading to the village of Jirgital, located 200 km from Dushanbe, and early in the morning we fly to the Base Camp.

A welcome dinner was held at the Iranian cuisine restaurant (again an association with Tehran!), next to the hotel. Delicious, satisfying and in huge quantities, we took the uneaten with us to lunch boxes, it will come in handy on the road! We also managed to congratulate our dear Olga, the manager of Aksai Travel, on her birthday. The next report, I hope, will be written already from the Base Camp on Moskvin's Glade, 4200 m.

Good day, it is Lyudmila Korobeshko from the expedition of 7 Summits Club on Korjenevskaya and Communism peaks. Today we had a day of rest, which went quite well, especially after yesterday, then  we celebrated several things: it's my Birthday and celebration of the successful ascend of first 2 climbers of the season at the peak Korjenevskaya. In general, the festival was very nice, so today we slept almost until noon.
Tomorrow we plan to go for the second acclimatization row. We come now for two nights on 5100m camp and further move to camp 5600m,  to establish our second camp, after that go down. In general, everything is fine; everybody recovered after the first night in the altitude. Bye to all!

"This is Lyudmila Korobeshko from the expedition 7 Summits Club on the Peak Korzhenevskaya, Communism. Yesterday we were dropped  by helicopter on Moskvina glade to 4200. In principle, everything is fine. We take a walk along the Moskvina glacier in the Peak of Four. Today we went for another walk up to the helipad, it's already on the way to the Peak of Communism, looked approach there. In fact, there is quite a lot of hanging seracs, but it is quite possible that by the time we go to Communism route will be cleared already.

Now, the next three weeks we will construct the route to Korzhenevskaya. So far, in this season on the Korzhenevskaya no one has climbed yet. Ropes hang up to 5800ì...."

After the rightful siesta, we walked through the market, bought oriental sweets and salo (Ukraine national dish). Then visited an interesting country institution "little flower", where the shish kebab serves now prohibited in Russia Kinzmarauli. Tomorrow, along with the poles and the iranians  we go to Djargital.
