For 2012, we decided to finish our bivouac flights from previous years and reach Chan Tengri – the second highest mountain of Tian Shan in the northeast of Kyrgyzstan.
We chose our fast offensive way of flight and flew from Karakol, through the center of Tian Shan, to Chan Tengri and Pik Pobeda just in 2 days. It was not an easy flying. Rapid weather changes, strong turbulent wind, sharp stinging thermals and afternoon thunderstorms everywhere – these are traps we had to deal with.
