Route along the southern crest (opened by V. Tsetkin in 1966, 5A classic) is not too difficult and can be climbed in 5 days after a suitable acclimatization period. Most USSR climbers used BC Achik-Tash (Peak Lenin) for acclimatization before attempting the ascent of Peak Korzhenevskoy and Peak Communism.
Peak Communism 7495 m: Route along the Waltera glacier up to the Barodkin ridge (opened by J. Barodkin in 1968, 5A classic). After careful acclimatization (that includes a climb to the Pamir Plateau, 6200m and back or ascent of Peak Korzhenevskoy 7105m) the route to the summit takes about 6-7 days.
II. Program Peak Korzhenevskoy and Peak Communism with use off helicopter. Day1-3: See program 1.

Traditionally the central and northwestern parts of the
Pamirs are considered one region. Two of the three peaks over 7,000
meters above sea level in the Pamirs are in this area - Peak Communism
(7,495 meters) and Peak Evgenii Korzhenevskoy (7,105 meters) - and
there is also the Fedchenko glacier, the largest in Central Asia
(71.2 km long). This region consists of a series of mountain ranges
that run in a latitudinal direction and are connected to one another
by the Akademia Nauk (Academy of Science) range. 
There are two areas with base camps. The first is the
Moskvina camp, which lies near a little lake on the plateau covered
with edelweiss and wormwood that extend up to where the Waltera
and Moskvina glaciers converge, at 4,100 meters. This camp is the
starting point for the climbs up Peak Communism and Peak Korzhenevskoy.
