In adolescence, we climbed the Picturist Almaty Peak, walked to Lake Issyk-Kul. The most beautiful places, and beyond the Passageway or Lake pass there is a large valley where the very stormy Chonkemin River flows and you can hear the boulders rattling, alas, this is another Republic.Now crossing the border is not possible without customs.
You have to go to the Tourist Peak with an overnight stay. Vehicles are not allowed to pass up from the barrier. The climb is 1500 m. It took 6 hours. After this, there is no strength to ascend. I need a rest. Lifting of medium gravity. Bad luck with the weather. But in general, the beauty is extraordinary, the air. BAO is beautiful
Special feelings are associated with this peak, as I climbed all 24 km on foot, without dropping off to the space station. I walked past BAO and along the beautiful serpentine that my feet will remember for a long time. From the space station, you will climb to the very peak on a loose pile, a curumnik, stones, even large ones, are very unstable, high boots holding the ankle are mandatory. There are three main ascents to the top, the last one is through a descent, which is not very pleasant. The views are beautiful, as they are everywhere in the mountains.
I would like to emphasize once again that the top is a bit treacherous due to very unstable stones. Be careful, because even experienced guys get injured if they speed up.
