My first solo trekking experience. I am not Fedor Konyukhov, so I ask you “not to shoot the pianist.” Why am I going to the Pamirs again this year? To try once again to climb the Peak of Communism (now Ismail Somoni Peak) - a seven-thousander, the highest point of the former USSR? No, most likely for something else.
Every year I am more and more drawn to the mountains... Why? Good question! It seems to me that this year I am very close to the answer.
In the first episode about tourists, I already started telling you about that world... Let's continue...
Thank you for deciding to share another journey with me.
I promise it will be interesting!
At the same time, we will discuss the pros and cons of traveling alone. Don’t be lazy to write in the comments what advantages, in your opinion, do single mountain tourists (climbers) have compared to groups.
Well, as a bonus: valuable information: how much does the full package cost, what is the safest and most convenient route to Vorobyov Peak, what peaks did Laura Delmeier, a two-time Olympic and seven-time world champion in biathlon, climb, etc...
