The Terksey Ala Too

Some years ago, while waiting for permits for the Central Tian Shan to be issued, we did an acclimatizational trek in the Terksey Ala Too. This is a westerly sub range of the Tian Shan, that rises in south-eastern Kazakhstan, then follows a south-westerly course and frames the southern shoreline of lake Issyk Köl in Kyrgyzstan.
The region we´ve been to, lies to the south of Karakol, the provincial capital of the Issyk Köl region. This region´s highest peak, and the highest mountain of the entire Terksey Ala Too is Pik Karakol (5284 meters).

The treks rough initiary:

Day1: Karakol to Djeti Oghüz.
Day2: Djeti Oghüz to the head of the Teleti Valley.
Day3: Over Teleti Passto the Karakol Valley.
Day4: Over Ala Köl Pass into Altun Arashan Valley.
Day5: From Altun Arashan back to Karakol.

As I have met with no single mountain I would have enough information and enough good pictures about to justfy a complete mountain page, making an album seems to be a good option. I´m also to lazy to write a Trip Report, but if anyone wants more info, feel free to drop me a line.
