Peak Lenin
Peak Lenin is a popular 7,000m peak, yet despite its low technical difficulty, it is a serious mountain. With no visa requirements for UK Nationals and the mountain being very accessible from Osh, it's an attractive 7,000er.

Dhaulagiri VII

IndiaOur 7,000m Service
Jagged Globe 7,000m climbs are resourced and supported for reaching the summit.
Key questions to ask about the organisation of the expedition are:
- Who is the Expedition Leader?
- Who are the other team members, how experienced are they and how big is the team overall?
- How much will I have to carry above base camp?
- What level of support is provided by local guides, Sherpas or High Altitude Porters?
- What can I expect from the Base Camp set-up, in particular, food?
- What tents are used on the mountain? Are they strong enough to survive storms or the blasts of avalanches?
- What is the record of success?
- What is the incidence of illness and frostbite?
Breaking the 7,000m Barrier
- David Hamilton has led 19 expeditions to 8000m peaks and 12 expeditions to 7000m peaks. Here is his advice for anyone thinking about attempting a 7000m peak for the first time.

Leadership and our One Team ethos
We have a “One Team” ethos – that is, one team on the mountain, with one aim – to get all team members to the summit. We do not direct or manage multiple teams at one time from base camp, nor are we simply supplying logistics or expedition management. We lead you from base camp to the summit.
High Altitude Warning
Although safety is a major consideration during our expeditions, there are dangers involved in climbing 7,000m peaks that can not be avoided. Extreme altitude, weather, cold and other mountaineering hazards make high altitude climbing a risky occupation at the best of times. Members of our 7,000m peak expeditions need to be aware of these dangers and accept that they are an inherent part of high altitude mountaineering.Trips Archive
Here are details of some of the 7,000ers that are not regularly part of our programme:
Lhakpa Ri
Lhakpa Ri is probably the most attainable 7,000m peak in the world, located in an amazing situation opposite the North Face of Everest. Jagged Globe has organised ten expeditions to the mountain since 2004. The approach is via the Tibetan Plateau, to the Rongbuk Monastery and Base Camp on the North side of Everest.
