In 2010 we will keep our Base Camp (3600 m) and Camp-1 (4200 m) in the Achik-Tash
Valley (the area of the Lenin Glacier) open for visitors from 7 July till 7 September. You and your climbing mates can take
part in our expedition at any time suitable for you within the period mentioned above. As the best time to climb Peak Lenin
is considered the period between the last week of July and the last week of August. To spend 22-24 days ex-Bishkek in the
area is quite enough for the successful ascent of this 7 thousander. To get some ideas how and when you can get to
Bishkek by air, please visit our "Internal flights" page.
If you are going to take part in our expedition at least with 2 climbing mates, then you are free to start your trip to Peak Lenin
at any time, suitable for you. Even independent couples and single mountaineers can start their trip at any time suitable for
them. Some reasonable extra payment to cover the costs related to their individual transportations would be required. We
can accept individuals for the same price as big groups' members pay if they join any small or even any big group. It
does mean that in this case they have to follow the outline schedule of the group they are going to join.
Be aware that the movement everywhere between Camp-1 (4300 m.) and Camp-2 (5300 m), and sometimes between Camp-2 and Camp-3
(6100 m) is demanding using ropes due to presence of the hidden crevasses there. Even if all the crevasses between Camp-1 and
Camp 3 are discovered and marked, we nevertheless would not recommend walking of a single person without using a rope
between Camp 1 and Camp 3. To learn more about the dangers, one can meet on one's way from Base camp to the top of Peak Lenin,
please visit our "Info on Peak Lenin" page.
