First summit in Karakol
First ski touring day in Karakol. We took the local taxi Yandex and wanted to get up in the mountains. Unfortunately, on the road there is a fence to pay the fees for entering the National park (250som for tourists) we say no and we decided to go by walking the other side. There was very little snow, so we send the drone to look if further is better. Luckily it was, so we decided to continue and managed to do our first little summit!
