I am planning a trip this summer to central asia, Kazakstan, Krygystan and the like.
Has anyone here climbed there before?
Did you have any particularly great climbing experiences to share?
I would love to find some experienced partners.
Is anyone interested in possibly doing a first ascent?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

I am living in Alma-Ata and could advice you something. What kind of climbing do you planning:
1) Beginner climbing at about 3000-4000 m - Alma-Ata area will fit well
2) Experienced adventure (4000-5000) - Peak Talgar near Alma-Ata or Inylchek area in Kyrgyzstan
3) Top mountains (5000-7000+) - Inylchek Area (Khan-Tengry, Pobeda, Mramornaya Stena) or Lenin Peak
Now there are a lot of tourist companies here, providing all kinds of support (I am not employee of any).
Good Luck!
