Muztag Ata is perhaps the highest ski-able mountain in the world. Of course, its early pioneers did not have skis and deep snow thwarted early attempts on it. It was eventually climbed in 1956 by a large Sino-Russian expedition, which placed a total of 31 climbers on the summit. Three years later even this success was topped when 33 members of a Chinese expedition climbed it, 8 of who were women. The first ski ascent of Muztag Ata was made in 1980 by an American expedition led by Ned Gillette.

Peak Lenin (7137 meters) is the third highest peak in the former Soviet Union and is considered to be one of the easiest mountains over 7000m. Because of this fact it has become one of the most popular peaks in the world and annually receives hundreds of climbers from all over the world. Lenin Peak is a border mountain between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, easier access and easier routes are the main practical reasons why a vast majority choose the Kyrgyz side. Additional reasons for the peak's popularity is the hospitable surroundings. The green, lush meadows and relative warmth at base camp, makes a big difference compared to equivalents in the area. Many climbers also come back with fond memories of having "camped with nomads" and great horse-back rides on the grasslands. The nomadic culture on the pastures of Kyrgyzstan is still very much alive.

The right name of this beautiful mountain is Peak Evghenii Korzhenevskoy, shortly Peak Korzhenevskoy. With 710 5meters, it is the third highest peak in the Pamir after Peak Kommunizma and Peak Lenin, and the fourth highest in the former Soviet Union. The classic routes up Peak Korzhenevskaya and Peak Kommunizma start from the same base camp in the Moskvina Glade. Many climbers attempt both mountains using Korzhenevskaya to prepare for higher and slightly harder Kommunizma. It was first discovered in 1905 by the Geography professor Korzhenevsky, who had followed the Muksu River to the south side of the peak. He named the peak after his wife, Evghenia Korzhenevskaya.
