Peak Pobeda
From £9,600 Altitude 7,439m Grade: 5D
Peak Pobeda
The most demanding of the Russian Snow Leopard Challenge.
Peak Pobeda is regarded as the toughest 7000m Peak and of the five summits in the Snow Leopard Challenge, it lies opposite Khan Tengri on the South Inylchek Glacier. It is the most northerly 7000m peak in the world, isolated and difficult and forms the border with China. It is climbed via five or six camps and would challenge any 8000m for its harshness. The summit provides a spectacular panoramic view of the Tien Shan and Khan Tengri.

Insurance
It is essential for a trip of this type that you are adequately insured. When researching insurance options, please ensure the policy covers you for the following:
- Cancellation or curtailment
- Helicopter rescue (most insurance companies will no longer cover for ‘search and rescue’ but providing you stay with the group, they will assist with ‘rescue’)
- Repatriation
- The altitude that you are expected to attain
- The location especially when travelling to Antarctica
- Grade of trek/climb/expedition
- Medical cover
