In the summer of 1966, Leningrad alpinists from the Spartak sports society went on an expedition to the Central Pamir to climb peaks in the unexplored Ayudzhilga river valley - a left tributary of the Muksu river. The first team of the expedition traversed the peaks of Pik Voroshilov - Pik Evgenia Korzhenevskoi, participating in the 1966 USSR championship.
The second team, consisting of alpinists with 1st and 2nd sports categories, made several first ascents to unnamed peaks surrounding the Ayudzhilga glacier cirque during the same period.
Dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Great October Revolution, the alpinists decided to name the newly conquered peaks after prominent commanders of the Red Army: Tukhachevsky, Blyukher, Yegorov, Yakir, and Uborevich. The peak with a height of 6231 m, described in this report, was named after Yakir.
