Descent route from Riga-Turist Pass, Katun'skie Belki Range, Altay
Not a skiable snow with the gear like we had back in 1988. You can see Olya still with her rappel device on in this picture.
We are descending East, into Ak-Oyuk Creek and thence to Akkem Glacier, on Day 10 of our March 1988 ski backpack.
