We are on the top again
Reaching the peaks for AlmaU has been a good old tradition for a long time. On September 6, 5 enthusiasts climbed at the “Big Almaty Peak”. The Height is 3680 meters above sea level. The way time – 4 hours (from the city). This peak is one of the classical symbols of Almaty horizon, which looks like a pyramid from a distance, closely – like a ridge of slumbering dragon.
Hike was great, despite the fact that the group had lost a little, and part of the way they moved through the edges and bumps. But, finally, the aim was reached!
Kadubinskaya Elena, AlmaU’s employee, participant of the hike: “It was cheerful and a little bit exciting, probably, because we reached the aim, but maybe because of the lack of oxygen on the top. It was absolutely exciting and a little bit scary to look down, because of the altitude that we reached. The city was seemed somewhere far away, in another reality.”
Since the climbing repeats from year to year, our climbers created a ritual – installation of sign in the surroundings of reached aim. This climbing was special because of the unexpected find – sign which was left during the previous hike, which took place in 2013. Re-branding is a good thing, but tradition to conquer the tops remains the same as it was in the past for IAB, so it is now – for AlmaU.
