Pik Pobedy ( Jengish Chokusu, Victory Peak, Mount Tomur )

Jengish Chokusu ( 7439m ) is the highest mountain
in the Tian Shan mountain range.
It lies on the Kyrgyzstan-China border
in the highest part of the Tien Shan.
Jengish Chokusu is a massif,
with several summits along its long ridge
- only the main summit exceeds 7,000 metres.
Jengish Chokusu is the highest mountain in Kyrgyzstan
it is considered the most northerly 7,000 metre mountain.
( Because mountains often contain ice caps on top of rock,
mountaineers consider Khan Tengri,
the Tian Shan's second highest peak,
as the northernmost 7,000 metre summit. )

Pik Pobedy is included in the
Soviet Snow Leopard Mountaineering Award.

Within the borders of the old Soviet Union ( USSR ), there are five mountains over 7000 metres - all located in Central Asia. If you climb all 5 of them, then you achieve the title "Snow Leopard" - an indication that you are a top rank climber. For many Russian alpinists the completion of the Snow Leopard peaks is a major objective.
