"Russian climbers Vitaly Gorelik and Gleb Sokolov established a new line up the north face of Peak Pobeda, the highest summit in the Tien Shan mountains, in late August.
The pair climbed the circa 2,400-meter buttress alpine-style over seven and a half days, with another day and a half to descend. They topped out on a minor peak along the long, high ridge between the 7,439-meter main summit of Pobeda and 6,918-meter Pobeda West (Peak Pavel Pshavel), and then crossed over the summit of Pobeda West during their descent."
