### Overview of the Western Pamir Region and Routes of the Russian Spartak Expedition The Western Pamir region offers a range of challenging mountaineering opportunities. This summary focuses on the routes taken by the Russian Spartak expedition, highlighting their ascents of peaks **Marx** and **Engels**, known for their technical difficulties.

Brief Description of the Area

The Soviet Pamir is divided into three parts:

  • eastern,
  • central,
  • western. The central part of the Pamir is a highly elevated desert plateau, with destroyed mountains of 5000–5500 m height. The plateau is surrounded by chains of high mountains with sharply dissected relief. The Western part of the Pamir differs sharply from the Central Pamir. Comparatively low northern slopes of the ridge with calmly flowing rivers suddenly abut against the sheer walls of the main ridge. This part of the Pamir remains a poorly studied area. The goal of the Russian Spartak expedition was:
  • more detailed study of this area,
  • educational and sports high-altitude ascents,
