"I precipitated in a private small (just 4 persons) Italian expedition. I climbed Korzhenevskaya peak following the normal route after climbing Vorobiova Peak for acclimatization. I started from Moskvina camp and I stopped in Camp 1 at 5100 m, Camp 2 at 5800 m and Camp 3 on the ridge at 6300 m. I had the honor to climb this great Pamir´s peak together with Mr. Sergei Penzov as mountain guide." — edoardomartelli • Aug 14, 2010
"Climbed from C3 on a perfect clear and sunny morning towards the summit. Once on the summit clouds came in, but we were able to see the summit of Peak Somoni across just peaking through the clouds. Amazing. Nice expediton. Climbed it on our Dutch Pamir 2010 Expedition" — russian-nomad • Aug 11, 2010
