Mountain summit

Yukhin Peak

Elevation above sea level: 5,130 m

The local expedition operator explicitly identifies Yukhin summit as 5130 m; camp and viewpoint elevations on the same itinerary are separate.

Yukhin is a separate summit in the northern approach landscape of the Lenin Peak massif. It lies above the Achik-Tash camp country on the southern side of the Alay Valley, within a high-mountain setting of moraine, scree, snow and surrounding Pamir ridges.

Summit post box and view from Yukhin Peak

The mountain is used as an objective in its own right and appears in programmes based around the first high camp. Its interest includes the relationship with the much larger Lenin massif: a neighbouring summit allows the scale of the glacier country and upper ridges to be understood. Yukhin and Lenin Peak remain different mountains; an outing on one is not an ascent of the other.

Named summit reference from the cited map or primary report, not a trailhead.
