Earlier, in August 2016, Bengal's eminent mountaineer Anindya Mukherjee, along with his Australian friend Athol Jake Preston, went on the Mount Lenin expedition through the north-west ridge of the Pamirs. But due to bad weather and heavy snowfall, they had to come back. Debashis brought success six years after that campaign.
Not only Lenin, but these climbers have scaled multiple peaks of Kyrgyzstan's Pamir Plateau (also known as the Roof of the World) in the past month. On June 30, Debashis, Malay, Kiran, Abhijeet, and Sourav Sinchan Mandal from Bengal made the first ascent of Mount Uchitel (14928 ft) together. Then, on July 3, they successfully climbed Mount Valskom (13396 ft) in the second Pamir expedition. These five climbers named the mountain 'Mount Unity'. These five Bengali mountaineers have also touched the Rajdelnaya peak (20505 ft) before starting their journey to reach Lenin's peak.
