Peak Korzhenevskaya, Tajikistan is a great choice for your first 7000m peak and is one of the Russian Snow Leopards
-
Peak Korzhenevskaya The classic Southern ridge route from the Moskvina Glade, is reached by helicopter and is the safest and easiest route to the summit. Camps are at 5300m and 6400m from where we tackle the summit via a narrow but not steep ridge. We acclimatise on the nearby peaks. The option of porters to carry gear to higher camps is possible.

An add on is Ismoil Somoni Peak 7495m (Peak Communism). We use Korzhenevskaya to prepare for this higher and more difficult neighbour. These peaks are a great stepping stone for Everest and other higher mountains.
