Razdelnaya Peak (6148 m) is located on the border of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in the Pamir Mountains and forms part of the classic route to Lenin Peak (7134 m).
For many climbers, Razdelnaya is one of the best ways to gain real experience above 6000 m before committing to a full 7000 m expedition. It offers a powerful combination of high-altitude acclimatization, glacier travel, fixed rope sections, and summit movement in a serious alpine environment — summit movement above 6000 m, at a scale below a full 7000 m climb.
This makes it an ideal expedition for climbers who want to test themselves at altitude, sharpen their movement on snow and ice, and prepare for bigger objectives with the support of Ak-Sai Travel’s established camp infrastructure.
The expedition begins at Achyk-Tash Base Camp (3600 m), the main hub for climbs on the north side of Lenin Peak.
The route progresses through a classic acclimatization sequence:
The climb includes:
Because the route follows the classic Lenin Peak line, climbers gain valuable experience on exactly the type of terrain they will encounter on larger Pamir expeditions.
Razdelnaya Peak is especially valuable for climbers who want a genuine summit above 6000 m.
It is often chosen by those who want to:
It’s a real high-altitude ascent, and the best preparation available for a first 7000 m climb.
This expedition is best suited for climbers who:
Razdelnaya Peak is one of the most effective stepping-stone expeditions in the Pamirs for climbers building toward bigger high-altitude goals.
This guided expedition combines progressive acclimatization, glacier training, and a real summit above 6000 m on the classic Lenin Peak route.
It is designed for climbers who want structured support while gaining practical experience on snow, ice, and high-altitude terrain.
★ An ideal expedition for climbers building experience above 6000 m
A guided ascent of Razdelnaya Peak (6148 m) follows a 12-day program designed for acclimatization, glacier training, and a summit attempt on the classic Lenin Peak route.
The expedition begins in Osh and progresses through Achyk-Tash Base Camp, Camp 1, and Camp 2 before the final ascent to Razdelnaya Peak.
Arrival in Osh and transfer to Achyk-Tash Base Camp. Upon arrival, the camp team arranges accommodation and provides expedition briefing and logistics information.
Acclimatization walk in the Achyk-Tash area, followed by rest and equipment checks.
Hike to approximately 4000 m for acclimatization and views over the Alay Valley. Return to Base Camp for rest and preparation.
Trek to Camp 1 via Travelers’ Pass and the slopes beside the Lenin Glacier. The approach takes approximately 4–5 hours.
Ascent of Yukhin Peak (5100 m) or Home Peak (4700 m) for acclimatization. Return and overnight at Camp 1.
Practical training on glacier movement, rope travel, self-rescue, and crevasse rescue techniques. Final equipment preparation for higher camps.
Early departure from Camp 1. The climb to Camp 2 involves crampons, rope teams, crevassed glacier terrain, and fixed ropes on the steeper sections.
Ascent from Camp 2 onto the northwest ridge and final climb to the broad summit dome of Razdelnaya Peak (6148 m).
Early descent from the summit camp via Camp 1 and return to Achyk-Tash Base Camp.
Extra day in case of bad weather or summit flexibility.
Transfer back to Osh. Hotel accommodation and rest.
Transfer to the airport for onward flights.
For safety reasons, the exact summit schedule may vary depending on:
Reserve days are included to improve the chances of a safe and successful ascent.
Guided Razdelnaya Peak (6148 m) expeditions operate during the main climbing season from July to early August, when conditions are typically most favorable for acclimatization and ascent on the classic Lenin Peak route.
Each departure follows a full 12-day program from Osh to Achyk-Tash Base Camp, Razdelnaya Peak, and back.
Limited group sizes ensure safe guide-to-climber ratios and efficient progression on the mountain.

Ready to start planning your climb?
Speak to our Expedition Specialist →Razdelnaya Peak (6148 m) is a serious high-altitude climb and a strong preparation objective for future 7000 m expeditions.
This program is best suited for climbers who:
Because the route reaches Camp 2 (5300 m) and the summit dome above 6100 m, participants should arrive prepared for cold, altitude, and long mountain days.
A valid high-altitude mountaineering insurance policy is mandatory to participate in the expedition to Razdelnaya Peak.
Insurance must meet the following requirements:
Please note:
Ak-Sai Travel does not work with GLOBAL VOYAGER assistant services. If your insurance provider uses this assistant, medical and evacuation expenses may not be covered during the expedition.
Climbers are responsible for ensuring their insurance policy fully meets the requirements above before arriving in Kyrgyzstan.
Medical support and first aid consultation are available at Base Camp and Camp 1.
The expedition also includes:
Ak-Sai Travel maintains radio communication between camps and the expedition route, allowing teams to coordinate assistance if needed.
In case of emergency, the expedition team can assist in coordinating:
Rescue operations depend on weather conditions, altitude, and helicopter availability.
The classic North Face route of Lenin Peak is considered non-technical compared to other 7000 m peaks, but it still requires glacier travel and high-altitude climbing skills.
To improve safety on the route:
Climbers must still be capable of traveling safely in rope teams and using mountaineering equipment.
Weather in the Pamirs can change quickly, especially above 5000–6000 m.
For safety reasons, summit timing may vary depending on:
A reserve day is included in the program to improve the chances of a safe and successful summit.
Climbers must bring appropriate equipment for a high-altitude expedition.

Ak-Sai Travel has operated expeditions in the Pamir and the Tien-Shan since 1998, supporting climbers from dozens of countries. We run the base camps, hold the permits, handle the transport, and coordinate the mountain logistics, so the system behind your climb is managed by one experienced local team.
We run the base and high-altitude camps on the mountain, staffed every season, so you arrive to a camp that is already set up and can put your energy into acclimatization, recovery, and the summit push.
We operate our own mountain rescue team and carry out rescue operations in the mountains, working alongside the Ministry of Emergency Situations (except Pobeda Peak).
Permits, transport, and camp operations are handled by one local team, with people at our Bishkek office and on location at the camps, so support is close by through the expedition.
Our mountain guides are trained toward established mountaineering standards, including national and Soviet-era classifications, and hold professional mountaineering categories. They work these peaks season after season.
Our team has been supporting climbers across the Pamir and Tien Shan ranges since 1998.
