Description

This area holds potential for more than just the lone ice climb posted so far, but has been incredibly unexplored so far. There are also rumours of some waterfalls further up the road, but it may take a special person to check into those and see if they are valid or not.

Getting There

Driving along the South shore of Issyk Kul, about 30 minutes past the turn-off to the Barskoon climbing area, take a right up into the mountains along the shepherd's road. You'll drive for about another 30 plus minutes till you reach a gated section of the road that should be open just enough for you to squeeze your car through. Just a bit after this is a nice little hot springs (yeah!) and then another 5 to 10 minutes drive after you'll see the waterfall. There is a bridge at this point that says it is only for livestock, but cars do drive across it. You won't need to worry at this point about crossing though unless you really wanted to spend time looking for the rumoured waterfalls further up.
