HELLO FROM BISHKEK

Hi, this is Andres reporting from Kyrgyzstan.
We are finally back in the capital after espending 20 climbing in the Torugart -Too range.
This range is located in the border of Kyrgyzstan and China. We where the firts americans on visit this awesome range and we also had the opportunity to climb 2 unclimbed peaks a 4000 and a 5000 meters peaks.
Both of them where great 1000 meters climbs full on crazy awesome alpine faces with lots of ice, rock, snow and great views.
Our approach to the range was by horses 3 days each way did make the experience super magic and little painfull. As you can imagine 3 days on a horse can get pretty crazy. In fact, my partner philippe fell out his horse bruising himself pretty good.
Anyhow, now is time for us to hang out in the city and wait a few days for our return back home.
I'm super excited to be back in san juans and start getting ready for the ice and mixed climbing season.
Hope to see you all there this winter.
Photos from this trip will be posted once I get back.
Cheers
Andres
