The season in our mountains has come to an end and it is time to summarize the results. This year turned out to be generous with colorful ascents and brave heroes who accepted the challenge of heights and harsh nature. First of all, we would like to congratulate those who were able to achieve the incredible and fulfill the standard for the title of “Snow Leopard”.

Becoming the owner of the title of “Snow Leopard” is a dream of many mountaineers, but only the most resilient and courageous can fulfill it. For this purpose it is necessary to conquer five great peaks of Central Asia, each of which represents a separate test.

Communism Peak (7495 m): The highest peak of the Pamirs and one of the most difficult. Communism Peak, also known as Ismoil Somoni Peak, beckons climbers with its steep slopes and vast glaciers. Its height and changeable weather make each ascent a real test of endurance and skill.

Victory Peak (7439 m): This peak justifies its name, because the conquest of Victory Peak is a triumph over oneself. It is considered to be one of the most difficult peaks to climb due to severe weather conditions and ice relief. Those who dare to conquer this peak will face a challenge that only the most experienced climbers can do.

Lenin Peak (7134 m): One of the most popular seven-thousanders, Lenin Peak attracts climbers with its accessibility. However, despite this, the altitude and difficult weather conditions require serious training and experience. To climb it means to overcome the barrier of one’s own abilities.

Korzhenevskaya Peak (7105 m): Another formidable seven-thousand-meter peak of the Pamirs. Its neighborhood with the peak of Communism adds a special attraction. Steep ice routes and changeable weather pose serious challenges to climbers.

Khan-Tengri Peak (7010 m): The northernmost 7,000-meter peak, famous for its sharp, pyramidal shape. Glacial terrain and unpredictable weather conditions make climbing Khan-Tengri a real challenge worthy of the bravest.

To conquer all five of these peaks is an incredible feat that requires strength of mind, ability to cope with difficulties and, of course, a great love for mountains. We are proud to present those who this season achieved this goal and received the title of “Snow Leopard”:

• Alexander Moroz
• Baibagasheva Asel
• Eugene Tokarev
• Bair Batuev
• Eduard Inozemtsev
• Semyonov Sasha
• Dmitry Danko
• Mikhail Krivulyak
• Maria Sizova

Full lists of climbers on each of the peaks are available at the link.

These people have passed through icy winds, snow storms and the hardest routes. Their success is not just a personal achievement, but an inspiration to all who aspire to conquer new heights. If you too dream of climbing legendary peaks and want to be honored with the title of “Snow Leopard”, we already have reservations open for next season!
