Mountaineering school in Tuyuk-Su. Today was our first ascent as part of the training program! Object: Khrishchaty Peak along the Eastern Ridge, 1B category.

We left at 5 a.m. and returned at 6 p.m. We did a great job, a wealth of impressions, emotions, and, most importantly, a wealth of experience. A wide variety of things. Navigating rocky scree, snow-covered trails without crampons, climbing a real route in a roped-up team, setting up gear where we really needed it, getting lost in the fog, overcoming our fears, and much more—all packed into one day.

And in the evening, we had a sauna. That's just what you need after a climb. Tomorrow we'll rest and descend to Almaty.
