As we drove in to the car park at 2100 m (quite a difference driving to a mountain rather than riding to it) I spotted a likely looking peak to climb and made an all out bid to get up and back in the remaining daylight hours - summit fever so to speak. I had no idea what the mountain was or the height but finding a map later it turned out to be Ucitel 4530 m which left me rather pleased , a 2400 m ascent and descent in 7 1/2 hours. The payment came later though, 2 days of very sore legs and feeling rather exhausted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1508703607178-3OFVRZW7C7SDOKNAV7XJ/IMG_6046.JPG Blog - Peaks and pass's, the Alps of Kyrgystan Ala Bel Pass - looked like Switerland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1508731506800-L1NHZ2AIN8TTR170R7WX/IMG_7096+%282%29.JPG Blog - Peaks and pass's, the Alps of Kyrgystan Campsite on the Suek pass 4230 m- looking out the Tent door into the Main Tien Shan mountains close to the Chinese border.

It almost compared in difficulty with that mass of moving material I climbed near Nanga Parbat once in sheer looseness of rock and scree. Like that pile I didn't have the nerve to retrace the ascent in descent and found a much easier way down , just as loose but not so steep. As I had carried nothing but a rain-jacket and left late the dying rays of the sun meant I was kept nervous to the very end in finding my campsite!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1508732482921-ROT7SPPIZ4FPKSP515UI/IMG_7390+%282%29.JPG Blog - Peaks and pass's, the Alps of Kyrgystan The steepness of the walls of this Glacial cirque is evident here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1508731411196-003H1UVZ9JUF4J9NXXDD/IMG_7077+%282%29+-+Copy.JPG Blog - Peaks and pass's, the Alps of Kyrgystan apart from miners vechiles and a couple of shepards it was empty country up there https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1508704265706-AO9Z5NIOX9X48CWPXUZ5/IMG_6068.JPG Blog - Peaks and pass's, the Alps of Kyrgystan summit Ala Bel pass 3184 m https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1508731583516-AWBHM8TY26OPGGZXYEHU/IMG_7118+%282%29.JPG Blog - Peaks and pass's, the Alps of Kyrgystan Nice view down the Glacier and out into the plateau but the highest point of the range was an unlikely looking pile of scree further beyond, perhaps about 80 meters higher than the one I stood on (approx 4600 m). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1508704866215-YVMHQJYZKOMOGDAFB7BM/IMG_6714.JPG Blog - Peaks and pass's, the Alps of Kyrgystan In Osh I meet up and had dinner with this very friendly group of Russian mountaineers who came from the Southern Urals and just completed a very interesting 5 week traverse of the Alay mountain range https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1508731646568-TT73D6SLUNH4R17MC3BJ/IMG_7147+%282%29.JPG Blog - Peaks and pass's, the Alps of Kyrgystan My only other camping companion the whole trip was Vitek from Czechoslovakia.

They looked straight forward but here was to experience what was to become somewhat normal for many of the subsequent mountains I climbed - they weren't as easy as they looked - especially with most unstable rock and slope's. Climbed the closer easier peak but gave up on the knife edge loose ridge leading to the main summit. The following day attempted to circumnavigate the smaller mountain to the easier southern side of its larger neighbor but this proved to long - apparently I still had a big day on the bike ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1508732520118-EV0DW4O0PAZUT2RAUQGD/IMG_7391+%282%29.JPG Blog - Peaks and pass's, the Alps of Kyrgystan and here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1508732633368-HYG05GTRFE3AT95TCLXM/IMG_7392+%282%29.JPG Blog - Peaks and pass's, the Alps of Kyrgystan Good bye - partinfg shot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1508731462211-HZKTM29SZNOTD0XKPKMG/IMG_7083+%282%29.JPG Blog - Peaks and pass's, the Alps of Kyrgystan Riding south across the plateau I selected a mountain to climb and it seemed that the furthest peak , the white glacier center right of picture, was highest and by good fortune the one directly over the Suek pass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1508732420556-2GPSC4ER4104R85G5CWL/IMG_7372+%282%29.JPG Blog - Peaks and pass's, the Alps of Kyrgystan Summit Uchitel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1508702897632-8EVM9GFSUJMUZ5QVEV8X/IMG_5977+%282%29.JPG Blog - Peaks and pass's, the Alps of Kyrgystan First pass and first mountain attempt, Teo -Ashoo pass on the old road , an almost 3000 m climb to the pass at 3586 m.

However on the whole neither the Kirghiz or Russian's populating the country seemed particularly interested in religious activities. The Uzbek population on the other hand seemed more inclined to visible participation.   Kyrgyzstan land of mountains Seemingly endless mountain ranges cross the country of almost every alpine variety. The greater ranges of the World are also represented with the Tien Shan that borders China to the North East and the Pamirs known colloquially as the roof of the World that border China and Tajikistan to the South east. Both ranges have seven thousand meter peaks and the Tien Shan boasts both the beautiful Khan Tengri, one of the classic symmetrical peaks of the world and Pobeda peak one of the worlds more difficult major climbs. However the Pamirs are far more extensive as far as high peaks go and form a huge mountain wall between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Approaching them one see’s this icy white wall stretching from horizon to horizon. Peak Lenin at 7140 meters is the highest point on that border wall and the dominant feature. Its easy to access , and has the reputation of being an easy major climb – it has a rather more sinister reputation of being one of the most dangerous , indeed in 1990 the worst mountaineering disaster in history happened here on its slopes when 45 climbers died in an avalanche. That not withstanding hundreds , indeed thousands will attempt the climb every year especially as it has no peak fees. I spent a week in the area around Lenin but found the crowds rather off putting - I expected some people up there but it was my first experience of mass's on the mountain rather than mountain mass's. Fortunately if one stayed away from the main route towards Lenin peak which acted like a human magnet one had the whole place to oneself. Given the extensive glaciation it was sometimes rather difficult to travel alone and a partner or two would have been nice. Eventually I ran out of food and headed back to Sary Mogol to continue visiting Kyrgyzstan by bike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506817028612-XGWT5M9C7E94NHCMM8YO/IMG_6239+%282%29.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs Dawn , the Temp at ABC was just above freezing so snow never settled. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506817739327-Z4SGYT7RBKKAADAINYIG/IMG_6476+%282%29.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs Looking north down the Lenin glacier https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506816153594-B556C3TSLRV1AZFCAE4M/IMG_6119.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs First view of the Pamirs was Peak Lenin from the top of the Taidyk pass (3600m) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506816213422-6DFEAZHJH4LEKNROD3CJ/IMG_6148+%282%29.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs Sary Mogol https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506816317494-9SDH8X1HMJTMYRG8I1U8/IMG_6175.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs Climbing a high point of 4100m above Lenin B/C to look into the range https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506816912868-M9PWVXKI6US70FZW5EDQ/IMG_6254.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs Ice cream peak 4695m , this summit afforded beautiful views to water sheds both East (LeninGlacier) and West. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506817272631-IOGBXJ4GYQ9DKAKG22E6/IMG_6398+%282%29.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs Northern view from 4695m https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506817876035-MFL1L1BACFYS3TCAWVLU/IMG_6581+%282%29.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs all done, leaving Sary Mogol and heading back to Osh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506817121650-8MCY66JPIX3NNVBEMMT7/IMG_6348+%282%29.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs Looking West from the summit 5120m https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506817963835-RI44DAVKNDWMGVG384W5/IMG_6584+%282%29.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs The last views of the Pamirs were as I headed up Jiptick pass , an old Soviet jeep track , now trekking track . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506818018791-C8MOMVMT2F4ZD00QA8G2/IMG_6593+%282%29.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506817658413-MU9IU8F4HFVUGXK6D8UI/IMG_6467+%282%29.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs trying to access most of the 5000/6000 meter peaks around the area proved too daunting for me alone over fragmenting glaciers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506817383895-26K3CIWMUUWXNH2AVGKX/IMG_6417+%282%29.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs Lenin Glacier https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1506816844185-UPC3EM1NDA8KNFUEPK4Q/IMG_6253+%282%29.JPG Blog - Highs and lows in the Pamirs Peak 5120m from Lenin Advanced Base camp site - in fact the real base camp.

It was my first time on a Glacier in almost 2 years and the last time was the chaotic mass of the Baltoro whose only similarity with this one was some ice underfoot. Ben had done all the planning leading up to the trip and now Jerome as doing all the leading up the mountain. I was ambling along in la la land enjoying the soft ice cream glacier - even the Bergschrund ( a large Crevasse) was filled in with all the recent snow. Looking up the summit route seemed quite clear but one worry remained , a traverse over ice cliffs looked imminent.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1487562175156-EQAE8ERD5YE11S2A7YU1/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Summer of Storms Ben looks into the Camera as George takes in the view of La Perouse, Aoraki,/Mt Cook and Mount Tasman from the large summit of the Nun's Viel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1487581539833-0G5EWZ17SHY270VYT8FA/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Summer of Storms La Perouse ,Aoraki/Mount Cook and the Nuns Veil - our objective the following day as viewed from Mount Little. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1487581512142-78M5AKYRNV4IF2OF6QLN/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Summer of Storms Sefton rising again , this time we were climbing Mt Little above Gorilla creek.

Most Humans have an innate fear of traversing steep slopes – a fear by no means unfounded. A little vector analysis will show that the balance of forces whilst climbing will tend to hold you to a steep slope and even whilst descending simple physics gives one the benefit of the doubt. On a traverse though its all different – the balance is all for heading down and when traversing large cliffs the only thing preventing a quick fall from here to eternity is skill, strength and will power. Alone I would have tried the rocky ridge rather than traverse the ice and having read Freda De Faurs account of ascending the Viel a century ago with the first ascensionist Peter Graham as a guide that seems to be what they did back than. Certainly in those times long before modern crampons and two ice axes a rocky ridge would have been preferable. Jerome though quickly got into the traverse and I followed somewhat more slowly. Halfway across the short traverse I balked on the iciest patch and had to let George and Ben past. It took a few minutes of standing alone on a wall taking a deep look at oneself before raising the will and concentration necessary to move on. Fortunately the difficult patch lasted only a few meters the rest of the traverse being easier and the steep climb to the top a cinch in comparison. Moments like these have come up before for me , both mountaineering and whilst cycling - often when there is an easy start and blissful day, the transformation into ruthless reality can be quite devastating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1487563317072-10G6EIDB9STCJMYKNAQK/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Summer of Storms Clouds were screaming overhead as we descended as the gale westerlies continued. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1487563893321-2W879L353ROI8633IDLD/IMG_4071.JPG Blog - Summer of Storms By the time we had descended to the Bivvy rocks the wind and clouds had enshrouded the mountain.. https://www.nathandahlberg.com/blog/2016/12/22/knobbled-by-scotts-knob-and-other-christmas-stories monthly 0.5 2016-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1483044848865-96MOPIH52A9WWPUVS1RB/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Knobbled by Scotts Knob and other Christmas stories.

Just as a transparent model of the human body consists of a framework of bone and a network of arteries, the earth's crust is structured in mountain ridges, river, creeks, and gullies.” ― Reinhold Messner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1424120006599-IWZM0LOTYDJUEGCIXTKR/IMG_3187.jpg Philosophy - Eric Shipton describing the Hunza “The Ultimate Manifestation of Mountain Grandeur” - Eric Shipton describing the Hunza Valley   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1424120005195-CJ1AZJPNR8WS8CXRW9SX/IMG_3192.jpg Philosophy "For us the mountains had been a natural field of activity where, playing on the frontiers of life and death, we had found the freedom for which we were blindly groping and which was as necessary to us as bread." — Maurice Herzog https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1424224416903-N9DKI894IXN47RAJO9GO/India+2013+035.JPG Philosophy A VISIT TO NUN KUN, 1934 authored by LIEUT. J. B. HARRISON in April 1, 1935 That night after we had finished supper and long after the world around us had become cold and dead, I glanced towards Nun and saw the snowy summit still glowing in the light of the sun, while from its crest floated a glorious wisp of crimson cloud. As I watched, the colour gradually drained from the peak, leaving it outlined against the evening sky, clear, cold, and infinitely remote. It was in a very humble frame of mind that I turned and crept into my tent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1424224623896-406BLJW04Q7DSRG3QKTE/IMG_3078.jpg Philosophy "No Shortcuts to the Top": ... our summit push (from camp IV at 24000 feet) took seven hours. The snow about camp IV was a psychlogical nightmare, dry as sand, affording hardly any purchase. One step upward - only to slide half the distance back down. We tried all the tricks we knew to get from one tiny rock island, where the footing was more solid, to the next. We really had to spur each other on. In some sense, the mental agony of that push was worse than anything I had experienced on the other 8000ers."

The map name Rakaposh is inelegant-the Devil's "tail", and the language is foreign to the country. On the Hunza side it presents an even more magnificent appearance, a long saw-edged crest above a vast unscalable face of whitest ice Longstaff 1907 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1424228032493-4L29UJQK2ZAMEI1U3FV7/IMG_3099.jpg Philosophy It was the most imposing view I have ever had, when after the descent through fog and moisture we rounded a corner and suddenly the gigantic amphitheatre of the Nanga with her satellites to the east, towering above the Rakhiot glacier and its tributaries, opened before our eyes. Overcome by this magnificent scenery, we walked down the grassy slope to the left bank of the Ganalo glacier - this Rakhiot side gives a sense of enthusiastic joy.   Ludwig Chicken 1939 German expedition to Nanga Prabat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1424229215065-UPKP8UDBKUPKOP26VIFH/Last+Import-5.jpg Philosophy “It is the same with people as it is with riding a bike.

That is the reward the mountains give to effort. And it is because they have so much to give and give it so lavishly to those who will wrestle with them that men love the mountains and go back to them again and again. The mountains reserve their choice gifts for those who stand upon their summits." — Sir Francis Younghusband. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1424315757425-NBA35NPJH5CB1AV1ABKP/IMG_3008.jpg Philosophy The Naked Mountain In the far west of the Himalayas , more than a thousand miles from Everest and Darjeeling,stands a mountain of danger and death.

Cette montagne est un paradoxe, à la fois si pure et si rude. Le temps peut changer en quelques secondes nous faisant prisonniers. Le vent peut hurler et se déchaîner, il peut s’y verser des mètres cubes de neige. Beaucoup ont tenté et perdu… nous sommes sur le Nanga Parbat, montagne jamais gravie en hiver, malgré plus de 30 expéditions, par des voies différentes.

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; and the realist adjusts the sails." — William Arthur Ward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1424467985576-ETFERG30WJUWZGC5BBOZ/IMG_3157.jpg Philosophy "the mountain appeared unclimbable from any of the routes we prospected" Austo - German expedition to Rakaposhi 1954   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1424470149178-74UDKRU8GKTYL2Y424YA/China+2014+182.JPG Philosophy "The thought of approaching action aroused strange and contradictory emotions in me. I felt an immense pity for all the little men who toiled on in the prison which society has succeeded in building against the open sky, who knew nothing and felt nothing of what I knew and felt at that moment. Yesterday I was like them, and in another few days I would be like them again. But today I was a prisoner set free; and tomorrow I would be a lord and master, and commander of life and death, of the stars and the elements." — Giusto Gervasutti. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1424470160304-0EQUSF9VMP53VXRQNFGK/India+2013+082.JPG Philosophy "but it is useless to try to describe the grandeur of the scene: there are perfections about which the only eloquence is silence "- Marco Pallis Peaks and Lamas 1938 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54cf1661e4b00a94eb715cd3/1424484201378-4VLOEHFAXCTPD249DGJX/IMG_2929.jpg Philosophy " Kaghan is a playground and a training-ground, and near enough to civilization to give one a first-rate scramble in 15 or even 10 days ...
