Two other peaks in Gorno Badakhshan named

DUSHANBE, August 28, Asia-Plus  -- Russian climbers have ascended two other unmade peaks in Gorno Badakhshan.

Davlat Habibov, the head of the tourism development department within the Committee for Youth, Sports and Tourism, told Asia-Plus that two climbers from Lipetsk (Russia) – Nikolai Orlov, who is visually impaired person, and Aleksey Loginov – recently ascended two unnamed peaks in the Pamirs.

One of the peaks was named a Mount 2014 Sochi Paralympics and the second one was named a Mount Beloved Woman.

“The first name is clear because the main participant of our team is Nikolai Orlov, who is real Paralympics contender and person of fortitude, and as far as the Mount Beloved Woman is concerned, we consider that it is a very beautiful and poetical name for peak.  The name was prompted by heart.  It stresses how much our dear women – mothers, sisters, wives – do for us,” the climbers said in an interview with a number of foreign media.

At present more than 1,000 foreign climbers are in mountain regions of Tajikistan, primarily in Gorno Badakhshan.
