Description

100% Expedition Success all 3 of our previous expeditions to climb Peak Korzhenevskaya have been successful and whilst it is a little more technical we have found it to be less physically demanding than Peak Lenin which has an exceptionally long summit day.

Peak Korzhenevskaya can be climbed in conjunction with an ascent of Ismoil Somoni Peak 7495m (Peak Communism), using Korzhenevskaya to prepare for its higher and more difficult neighbour. The classic Southern ridge route starts from the Moskvina Glade, reached by helicopter and is generally regarded as the safest and easiest route to the summit. Camps are placed at 5300m and 6400m from where we tackle the summit via a narrow but not steep ridge. To aid our ascent and the move between camps we will acclimatise on the nearby Peak Vorobyova (5691m) and porters are used to carry group equipment (tents, stoves and fuel)

Peak Korzhenevskaya is one of the five Russian peaks that make up the Snow Leopard Challenge

If this is the case, please ensure that your insurer is aware of your Adventure Peaks itinerary and can agree to cover the activities being undertaken.
