Lenin Peak rises to 7,134 metres (23,406 ft) in Gorno-Badakhshan (GBAO) on the border of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and is the second-highest point of both countries. It is considered one of the easiest 7,000 m peaks in the world to climb and it has by far the most ascents of any 7,000 m or higher peak on Earth, with every year seeing hundreds of climbers make their way to the summit. Lenin Peak is the highest mountain in the Trans-Alay Range of Central Asia, and in the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan it is exceeded only by Ismoil Somoni Peak (7,495 m).
Thank you Nathan,who visited Kyrgyzstan after I had arrived home, for this
awesome card of Kyrgyzstan! A truly beautiful country, it makes me wish
I could revisit it right now,but winter would be too cold for this tropical person to bear!
