No Summit
Climbed this amazing peak during our Baikal Belukha Expedition with our very strong guide Anton. Camped in high snow and on summit day the weather turned snowy again. On the final ridge we decided to abort our summit attempt. Beatiful area and hope to return there some day in winter time!
Route Climbed: Standard 1B Date Climbed: April 3-, 2005
Though the weather was not bad and stormy, it was not good either. As we approached the last 878 metres of ascent, the winds picked up and there was significant low cloud over the summit. An ice axe came in handly just to brace against the heavy winds, and most crawled up to the summit block using the affixed rope, stayed only a little, and immediately left.

The next day was beautiful.
