Three Peaks of the Pamir: Razdelnaya and your first 6,000-metre summit

Three Peaks of the Pamir: Razdelnaya and your first 6,000-metre summit

Prepare for a first 6,000-metre objective on a 16-day Kyrgyzstan expedition. Three Peaks of the Pamir plans Petrovsky (4,700 m), Yuhin (5,130 m) and Razdelnaya (6,148 m), the highest objective, with a Spanish guide included to Razdelnaya’s summit.

Mirando al Sur combines walking, preparatory climbs, technical practice and recovery between camps. Four additional days are already integrated into the 16-day total and can be used where they are most useful to the group.

Your mountain trip with Mirando al Sur

The programme is for people with an established mountain background who want to explore high-altitude expeditions. Previous climbs, stamina, ice axe and crampon skills, glacier travel and load organisation are reviewed before booking.

The team’s published Pamir record includes over 20 participants on Lenin, over 50 on Razdelnaya and over 70 on Yuhin. The experience helps shape the plan without promising a particular altitude response or all three summits.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same trip as the Lenin expedition?

It shares the area and some preparation, but this programme ends with Razdelnaya as its highest objective. It does not attempt Lenin Peak’s summit.

Could this be my first expedition above 6,000 m?

It can be considered if your experience and preparation are appropriate. Review altitude experience, glacier travel, ice axe and crampon skills with the team; the technical practice complements that foundation.

Is it 16 days plus four reserve days?

No. The four additional days are within the 16-day total and can be redistributed through the programme.

How far is the Spanish guide included?

To Razdelnaya, the highest objective. This differs from the Lenin expedition, where guiding beyond C3–Razdelnaya for Lenin’s summit is arranged separately.

What if Petrovsky cannot be climbed?

Its ascent depends on conditions. The guide can reorganise adaptation activity and reserve days around terrain, weather and the group’s progress.

What does premium accommodation include?

Cabins with private bathrooms at Base Camp and domes with beds at C1. Both categories use tents at the high camps.

Are flights and medical insurance included?

No. International flights, travel medical and cancellation insurance are separate, as are the stated exceptional costs. Public liability and accident insurance are subject to their policy cover.

What camp and travel services are planned?

Full board at Base Camp and C1, the stated shared facilities, Osh–Base Camp–Osh transfers and one return hotel night with breakfast. Confirm high-altitude food, connectivity and loads during preparation.
