Peak Razdelnaya
From £3,500 Altitude 6,148m Grade: 3C
Peak Razdelnaya
Peak Razdelnaya is a perfect first 6000m Peak that can be climbed in just 17 days.
Located between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in the Pamir Mountains, Razdelnaya is a perfect first 6000m Peak that can be climbed in just 17 days and is very cost effective. It is ideally suited to those with minimal winter skills as there are plenty of opportunities to practice these as part of the ongoing expedition. You get to experience a wild and remote part of the world with spectacular Himalayan type scenery. The ascent shares the classic route to the third highest peak in Kyrgyzstan, the stunning Lenin peak (7134 meters).
Even though Razdelnaya is quite easy and does not require a high skill level all participants must have a high level of fitness and be prepared to experience cold and uncomfortable conditions. You will learn to travel and camp on glaciated terrain.
Base Camp is quite idyllic, situated on a raised meadow of Alpine flowers between two steep river valleys. From BC we head over the Puteshestvinnikov Pass to the moraine of the Lenin Glacier which is ascended to reach camp 1 (ABC) at 4200m. We then establish a high camp (C2) at 5300m from where we make our summit bid.

Itinerary
Day 1 | International flight |
Day 2 | Arrive in Osh or you may find it easier to overnight in Bishkek and then take a domestic flight Bishkek to Osh. Arrive in the morning with time to explore the sights, bazaars and do our shopping for mountain snacks. (H, B) |
Day 3 | Transfer to Achik-Tash base camp (3700m) |
Day 4 | Acclimatisation on Petrovskogo Peak |
Day 5 | BC - Camp 1 |
Day 6 | A low activity day at Base Camp to aid acclimatisation and recap on glacial travel and crevasse rescue skills. (C, B, L, D) |
Day 7 | We ascend Yukina peak 5100m a lovely peak close to ABC that gives outstanding views towards Camp 2 and the route beyond to, Razdelnaya and Peak Lenin. We spend the night camping on the summit of the peak. This is an important day of acclimatisation as we want to ensure you are ready to move up to Camp 2 with a degree of strength and efficiency. |
Day 8 | Today, after striking camp, we descend back down to ABC in time for breakfast. 2-3 hours. In the afternoon we do further skills training and prepare for our move to C2 and the summit. |
Day 9 | Today we climb to Camp 2 with food (2-3 kg) and our personal gear. Porters will move group equipment. Crossing the flat glacier, we head up the face to the Skovorodka (Frying Pan!). This area is crevassed, so the group will be roped up to cross this terrain. The route progressively gets steeper until a traverse can be made to Camp 2 which is located on a rocky outcrop to the far right of the glacier at 5300m. 6-8 hours. |
Day 10 | Today we get used to the steepest part of the climb by taking an acclimatisation walk/climb up the steepening and fixed ropes that lead towards Razdelnaya. We gain the viewpoint of a small subsidiary summit at 5700m before returning to Camp 2. |
Day 11 | Mt Razdelnaya Summit Day - Today we use our many years of experience. We ascend again passing yesterday’s high point to reach Mt Razdelnaya at 6100m in 6-8 hours. We stay the night at C2 and descend the next morning to ABC |
