Pik Chapaev (6371 m)

One of the most beautiful peaks

Prior to skiing Pik Pobeda East (6762 m) in the Kyrgyz Tian Shan, we acclimatized on Khan Tengri (7010 m) first. The views toward Pik Chapaev, an elegant, airy ridge above the clouds, were stunning. In that moment, it was the most beautiful mountain I had ever seen.
