Kyrgyzstan

great pics, great tr. gracias.

Excellent TR. Sucks that the skiing/weather/logistics were less than ideal, but I dig the adventure aspect. Many thanks for sharing.

I actually signed up to this forum because I wanted to learn from trip reports and this one did not disappoint. Excellent writing style, man. I like that you really immerse us in the highs and lows of the experience. I'm just starting out so I'm a long way from Kyrgyzstan but your writing style made me A.) wish for an experience like this, B.) hope to never experience anything like this and C.) momentarily feel like I had experienced it. The cold seemed oppressive at points though. I can handle desert hikes because you hit that point of heat where you just feel so exhausted it's almost like falling asleep. I feel like extreme cold is the opposite. Glad you got a majestic reward for your endurance. Thanks for sharing your experiences. It's definitely eye opening for a newbie like me!

Awesome trip report! Once I'm done digesting it all, I'm 100% I'll have a few questions!

Well done!

What an epic sufferfest, Zach!

Great TR.

Fantastic write up and beautiful photos!

Awesome write up man.

Wow that was great on a slow day at work.

Awesome tr!. Sounds like an epiiiic trip. I'm actually headed through Kyrgyzstan next year, might have to bring my skis along for the ride..

My kind of adventure, way to get after it
