Pobeda Peak is the highest mountain of Tien Shan, the most difficult and northern in the program of the seventhousanders of the former USSR “Snow Leopard”. The crest of Pobeda peak consists of three peaks: Western peak (Vazha Pshavela – 6918m), Eastern peak (7079m) and Main peak (7439m). The most popular route runs through the north ridge of the Western peak. Despite the routes of increased difficulty and harsh conditions, many sportsmen try to climb the Pobeda peak, testing for strength and courage themselves.
