Peak Komsomol was climbed for the first time on the 17th of July 1930 by a group of mountaineers from Almaty. Since then the name of the peak was changed several times Komsomol - Nursultan - Komsomol - Almaty, but here we mostly use the historical name given by the first ascenders.

This is a real mountaineering trip, when you will go through the glaciers and moraines, climb rocky ridges and experience the unique beauty of local mountains.
