The campaign "Aisham". The beginning .....

In the morning a long time sleep is impossible, as it always happens with me in the mountains. The first thing you need to wash cold water from the lake. Then throw the wood to weakly burning coals and start a fire. Stand to "table" food hidden in the night in the vestibule of the tent away from rodents. The sun not yet reached the shore, illuminated the rocky top of the ridge to Kutukcu.

Today it is possible not to hurry anywhere. Paul at Oise will have to wait for the group at the gate of the Sanctuary/nature Reserve across the Creek Boundary at 19.00. From the experience of the previous campaigns we know that the way back from lake prompt takes an average of five and a half to six hours. Even if we long to relax and slowly go, still not late.

Many times had to go to Cardiaca. And every time the lake and the mountains surrounding it look different. I had not noticed a solitary tree, growing as if out of rock under the cliffs of mount Loub.

In the South-East is a rocky peak that you want to pass by on the way to the lake Blue-eyed.

In the West — encased in ice toothed comb Agasti. To it straight for about 12 km.

Finally, the sun lit up the shore of lake prompt. Directly from camp there are wonderful views on mount Loub (2970,4 m). From the shore we see only its southern spur, the highest point from the lake is not visible....
