Peak Uruymagovoy, 3884 m, Sugan Range

Peak Uruymagovoy, 3884 m, Sugan Range

View from the direction of Galdor Glacier, from the NW. In front of the peak and a little to the right is the khitsan (Ossetian for a nunatak), a rocky island dividing the two branches of the glacier. We are returning from an early-morning recoinssance trip to the khitsan saddle to scope a potential avy-safe place for our next camp, after a series of freak spring snowstorms made these mountains a veritable avalanche trap.
