Team Summits Peak Lenin!

 

Hi everyone,

The wind finally died down yesterday and we had a beautiful day climbing Lenin Peak, clear skies and light winds but still cold temps! We spent most of the day in our parkas and mittens. The team did great on a long, physically demanding summit push and we had awesome views of the high peaks in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. We slept last night at Camp 3 then headed down to Camp 1 today where we’ve enjoyed thicker air and getting our feet out of the big boots. We’re looking forward to an easy walk down to Basecamp and showers tomorrow!

Snow-covered mountains stretch far into the distance under a clear blue sky, showcasing a stunning, pristine winter landscape.
