YUKHINA PEAK
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE TOUR
Climbing Yukhin Peak (5130m) is an exciting adventure for beginners in mountaineering, providing an ideal opportunity to prepare for climbing even higher peaks.
The exclusivity of this program lies in the fact that no specialized equipment is required to reach the goal: ordinary trekking boots and telescopic poles, which even beginners usually have, are enough. Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy the magnificent mountain scenery and conquer your first five thousand meter peak.
Yukhin Peak is located in the Zaalai range, in the northern spurs of Lenin Peak. Its summit offers an impressive view of the Northern Wall of Lenin Peak (7134 m) and the Alai Valley. The classic ascent route does not include steep rocky or icy sections and good physical preparation, endurance and motivation are necessary for successful climbing.
