late afternoon climb to ala kul pass from the keldike yurt camp overnight stay high above altyn-arashan settlement in kyrgyz tian shan mountains

 

I have vehemently refused to stay put in the camp and decided I have to walk up there for the ala kul lake view in the waning hours of the day as my gut feeling told me there is some chance of good light (and some of the rain, too, but yeah... ). in her desperation my wife decided to trod along and verbally abuse me with slurs about me being old stubborn donkey (absolutely untrue, 45 is not that old!), being autistic *hole (guilty ass charged), taking risk with mine and her life (grossly incorrect), disobeying our mountain guide and general social norms (yes, I was... :| ), etc.

 

we made it all the way up. she was silent by then, not just by exhaustion from breathing thin air :) I was damn right with my precognition, 20 years spent chasing light outdoor ain't there for nothing :/
