Week End 1- Peak koncimolski

Yes this weekend I hiked the second hardest/highest peak near Almaty.
NO we did not use the chair lift to go up chimbulak
YES I did want to

Friday after school we went to Daniel's to get ready we went from there to chimbulak
I got the tent :Z
because the chair lift wasn't working we walked up. Mr. Burns made it in 1hr. + 25 min
we made it in 2 hrs



the guide is like "gaverete S.." when he took our picture
it was rather comical
we set up camp next to the sewastica on the rocks




Daniel and Brian sat up all night talking about girls. because I was in the middle I couldn't sleep
I finally started swearing at them and they shut up






we left at 7 and headed straight up the rocks towards the glaciers
because of the snow several days earlier I was able to grip the ice. we did that for about an hour then put on rock climbing gear
I got this natzi helmet








We climbed using ropes for 1.5 hrs and finally got to the top
we went for a nother 1.5 hrs. to get down. it was a lot harder and started snowing at the end of the rocks



We spent the rest of the day climbing back down then mountain, glacier, and chimbulak
we caught a taxi to madeo and my dad picked us up from there
I am thankfully not sore
and am going to do home work now
