Moskvina
Glade (Poliana Moskvina) is Base Camp (BC) site for mountaineers who are attempting
to climb the highest summit of forner USSR - Communism Peak (now renaimed with
Ismail Somoni Peak after the foundator of ancient Tadjik state), 7495 m
high, Peak Korjenevskoy, 7105 m, and from season-2010 - for Lenin Peak
South (7134 m). It is situated in Academii Nauk (Academy of Sciencies)
Range, Central Pamir. There are some another peaks of above 6,000 m (Peak
Moskva among them) at the area which could be interesting for mountaineers.
Most of the routes are combined (snow+ice+neve+rocks) and does involve full
set of mountaineering equipments. The area is not much suitable for trekking
due to it is far remote place without simple passes (there are only pass-hopping
routes of above 2 CC possible at the area). In fact, now there is only one safe
way to reach the site: by air. During mountaineering season (July-August), there
are few flights scheduled from Dushanbe (the capital of Tadjikistan) and Karamik
helipad on Kyrgyz-Tadjik border (the latter is much shorter as from Dushanbe
despite the fact it is made by the same chopper in the same "circle flight"
from Dushanbe). For more information, take a look at corresponding pages:
