Mountaineering in Ala Archa, Tien-Shan mountains, Kyrgyzstan

Superb climbing, scenery and wildlife in Kyrgyzstan's n the Northern Tien-Shan mountains at Ala Archa. The first 3 minutes mainly shows the wildlife (including Siberian Ibex locking horns). The next 5 minutes features my ascents on Uchitel Peak 4550m (Russian Grade 1B); Korona Peak 4810m (3A). The final 2 minutes shows our new route on Semenova Tian-Shanski (4,895 m (Russian Grade 4A).

Очень красиво. Как вы это снимали. Поймали такие кадры оболдеть. Как они всё-таки интересные.

I truly liked the genuinity of your video- a basic editing, no talking, letting the images speak for themselves.
I would love to mountaineer in the Tien Shan. Let me ask you: did you use any different equipment from that which you would use on the Alps? Which books and maps did you rely on? Could you please give me a rough idea of the budget needed for this kind of expeditions? Above 5000 euros? Thank you a lot

Hi, I lived in Kyrgyzstan for some time, with good value flights, you can probably do a trip like this for 700 euros, 5000 euros and you'll be a king.

Молодцы. В Ала-Арче был в прошлом году. Но скромненько - с подъемом на пик Учителя. ua-cam.com/video/cojar7NQ8eA/v-deo.html

[@tripp3468]

beautiful. Can you explain what russsian grade 1B means? what is the easiest grade

[@markaitken4589]

+tripp k Thanks for your comment and question. Grade 1B is defined as: Easy ascent of a peak between 2000-5000 m over rocks, with sections of snow and ice or mixed ground. It's equivalent to European Alpine grade of F or PD. There's a good guide on grade comparison here- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(climbing)
