So if I am understanding you, your camp was around 10,000 ft and then you climbed the mountain 14, 300 feet. A bit like climbing a mountain in the Sawatch in Colorado? Looks like a nice area.
Yes, you understand it exactly :-) On the overview photo there is a small yellow spot at the bottom - it is our tent. The altitude difference between the summit and our tent is about 740 meters.
Thanks for your comment, about getting there, it is as simple as possible, just by a ticket for flight to Bishkek, then to Osh, and then take a car for the Kyrgyz Tajik border :-)
Please make the large photos clickable so the captions are easy to find.
It's very hard to believe there are any unclimbed peaks in this area, as the area has been used for acclimatization and training for decades by the Russians.
Basically a good page, but you state: ....probably unclimbed peak till July 2005 when we reached the summit.
This and all the other peaks in the area have been climbed multiple times. The place may have been devoid of people when you where there, but there are lots trekkers and climbers there at times.
