30th June 2025 - Acclimatisation at Base Camp

Today was a day of sorting and walking. After breakfast we had to collect the equipment stored at base camp last year. Once this was brought back to the tents we went for our acclimatisation walk reaching just over 4050m. Despite the forecast of rain at base camp, it's just been cloudy looking south towards the mountain, but clear everywhere else. Usual mountain weather if clearer mornings gave us a nice view of Lenin.

This afternoon for myself and phurba was checking all kit for both Peak Lenin trips. All is now in order and ready for our move to Camp 1 (ABC). Tomorrow we are going to have an extra rest day too give us better acclimatisation before we move up to 4200m.

29th June 2025 - Off to Base camp!

Picked up at 10:15am to go food shopping, a quick blast round the shop and all was done and finished by 11:35. The team then loaded onto the bus for the 6 hour journey to a very comprehensive basecamp. time to relax and finalise everything before starting the main event.

28th June 2025 - Arrival in Osh.

This morning the majority of the team met up and made the flight to Osh from Bishkek. We are just waiting for Niall to arrive on the afternoon flight to make the complete team. As most have been travelling through the night we'll opt for a more sedate evening meal at the hotel rather than heading out into town. Tomorrow we have a departure time of 9:30 - 11am...this is Kyrgyzstan, things will happen but you need to have a relaxed attitude as to when they will happen. We'll first head to the Supermarket to get some supplies and then on to Achik-tash, Peak Lenin base camp.
