> Thanks Damo. I will give it a go.Do you have any words of wisdom on organising a climbing trip to Kyrgyzstan?
Not really. I just went and climbed Peak Lenin with a mate. We used Ak-Sai for the basics and they were good. Gas canisters up at ABC/C1 there were USD$8 back then and easy to get.
- Bishkek has a surprisingly good number of restaurants and cafes and bars, in which we spent a few days.
- It's bloody hot though, around 38C.
- Osh I found a bit average, tbh, not that interesting and a bit grubby
- don't let your mate get in a fight with the taxi mafia cos they will come from nowhere and gang up on you
