Communism Peak and Korzhenevskaya Peak

Starting from the Base Camp located at Moskvina Glade (4360m), the route follows a clearly marked path along the moraine of the Walter Glacier until it intersects with the Helipad area. Upon crossing the glacier, the route leads to a broad and gently sloping snow shelf that directly leads to Borodkin’s rib. The Snow Pillow, which refers to the middle and upper part of the shelf, is prone to ice falls, so it’s recommended to traverse this part of the route as early in the morning as possible.

Upon reaching the exit point to the rib, you’ll encounter a small rocky section typically fitted with railings. Camp 1 can be established at an altitude of 5100m. You’ll then need to climb the moderate slope to the snowy slope on the “Chest” (6300m), which is susceptible to avalanches. Afterward, descend and establish Camp 2 (6100m) on the Pamir Firnovy Plateau.

The following day, after spending the night under the “Breasts,” cross the plateau and begin ascending to the jumper between Dushanbe Peak and the peak mass of Somoni Peak (Communism) along the gentle snowy slopes of Dushanbe Peak. Camp 3 (6900 m) is usually located at the assault point, while intermediate camps can be established at altitudes ranging from 6400m to 6600m.

Upon reaching Camp 3, you’ll need to cross the lintel and proceed beneath the steep snow-ice slope “Shovels,” along which you’ll need to climb 400m to reach the sharp summit ridge that leads to the summit (7495m). The descent typically takes two days.

Ascending the mountain begins at Moskvina glade (4360 m) with a marked path that leads to a canyon before continuing along the trail and bypassing the base of the southern spur. A steep scree slope leads to Camp 1 (5100 m), located on a rocky slope with ample space for tents. Camp 2 (5800 m) is located at the base of the southwestern wall on a snow pillow, protecting from stones. The 6400 m section is steep, with rocks, ice and snow, but is usually equipped with railings. Camp 3 (6400 m) is a snowfield, allowing for the installation of a large number of tents.

Climbers will traverse a long section to the right under the rocks, ending with a climb that leads to a small snowy saddle at the base of the southern summit ridge. The last section involves a series of ups and downs, totaling approximately 700 meters. Climbers must exercise caution on the ridge and steep snowy take-offs. The rock tower is bypassed on the right, and the summit (7105 m) is accessed through a snowy platform. After climbing, climbers spend the night at Camp 3 (6400 m), then descend to Base Camp the next day.
