3000m is nothing. Mount Shasta is 4200m and we, just regular guys, walked up to its summit without any experience, etc. in 2 days. People easy do it in 1 day.

The climber was Russian. The peak, Kyrgyzstani. The name "Pobeda" means "Victory" in Russian. Mountains (and other geographic features) often share names, and specifying which and where can occasionally be confusing.
Tolerance for someone mis-remembering elements of a story helps avoid tedious comment litigation.
The mistake was in all likelihood innocent.
