A published recorded track, prepared for this catalogue. It documents one outing and does not confirm current conditions.
Elevation values come from the source file. Inaccuracies can affect total ascent. Gaps in the track are not joined.
Altitude and elapsed time describe the original historical activity. Filtered gain/loss depend on the stated method; they do not certify present trail conditions or a recommended timetable.
Recorded trip time: 5:06. Includes stops; this is not a recommended schedule.
The source does not provide a complete surface survey. Expect conditions to change after rain, snow and river floods.
ABOUT THE PLACE
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.
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.
Grade not specified
An alpine grade for this exact itinerary is unverified. This does not mean easy or ungraded-pass terrain.
No grade is inferred from distance, ascent, summit name or a promotional difficulty label.
A grade for this exact ascent line has not been verified. A different route on the same peak may have a different grade.

ROUTE OVERVIEW
A high-altitude circuit from the Lenin Peak base camp area to Yukhin Peak and back, via the advanced base camp.
Derivative of the publicly offered GPX: only source coordinates and elevation retained; activity extensions and timestamps omitted. No spatial simplification applied.
An ascent needs a separate assessment of the approach, altitude, slope conditions and descent. A short summit track does not automatically include the valley approach, acclimatisation or preparation for technical terrain.
Track length: 27.2 km. This distance covers the track shown on the map. Add any approach, return or transfer sections that are outside it.
Choose the route after checking the actual start, finish and terrain with a local guide. Mapped geometry alone does not establish technical difficulty. Your group should be comfortable navigating offline and changing plans when conditions deteriorate.
Osh / Alay
Confirm the actual approach with local guides and arrange return transport. The first track point may belong to an upper section rather than a vehicle-accessible trailhead.
Confirm transport to the actual trailhead, not just the nearest town. Agree the return pickup point and a latest contact time before leaving mobile coverage.
Ask locally about road access, entry rules and a permitted place to park. Use the line only for its stated mode of travel and exact scope.
A published activity track from the Lenin base camp area through advanced base camp to Yukhin Peak and back. This is an athletic high-altitude outing; the source performance is not a normal hiking-time recommendation.

Mountain weather can change quickly. Rain affects traction and river crossings; snow can remain on shaded slopes. Never assume a mapped line confirms a safe crossing or a passable trail. Check recent conditions locally, set a turnaround time and leave your plan with someone who can raise the alarm.
Plan your timing around the distance, ascent, terrain, weather and your group’s pace. Include breaks, the approach, descent and return transport. A past trip’s time is a reference, not a schedule for your group.
Confirm season and snow conditions before departure. Summer dates alone do not establish suitable conditions for a high mountain objective.
For an ascent, confirm technical equipment, acclimatisation and team competence requirements with a qualified guide.
