Hitchhiking in Dombay. Day 8 by @fourapril Part 2

After making a couple of photos, we went looking for a way up. Transfer to the 4 level (2700 approximately) was only a chairlift, ie it is an aluminum seat with a pipe mount. Canned fear, sat down, drove off. A little annoying that the lift needs to jump on the move and immediately lower the mounts, damn it, I'm already scared, and something else needs to be done.

In the photo it seems as if they are going quite low, in fact, 8-10 meters from the ground, and somewhere higher.
At level 4, we decided to make a little breather before the next rise.

Somewhere down there Dombay.

At this altitude there is an original cafe, now idle, in the form of a flying saucer. Unfavorable apparently.

Made some photos


Right here in the rocks there were bushes of mountain raspberries and some strange berry.


The next climb is the longest and the top is already cool, so we put on warm clothes.
It was the longest and most terrible ascent. But at that time I did not imagine how much worse it would be to go down: D
At 3012m there were completely different landscapes. Those mountains, which I looked up from the valley, were now at our level.



Toilet at an altitude above 3000 meters :)

The last climb to 3200m remained, there already were four-seat benches. They moved much more slowly than the past, which allowed us to completely blow us an icy wind to the bones.

Hooray! And here we are at 3200m, the views from here fascinate.

At this altitude, a strong cold wind blew and snow lay on the non-sunny side. We decided to go down to the snow, and then raise it to a higher point, you can see it in the photo.

The usual snow, very dense and cold of course :D

Then the plan was to rise higher, but in the middle of the road I began to feel the entire height, it's like a sixth sense. I was scared, just plain fear, I realized that I would not go any further.

The way back turned out to be worse and more beautiful, of course, all this incredible picture is facing you all the descent.




In the valley they descended already in new booths, from sin. In Dombai bought a pair of magnets, local mountain tea.
We returned to the cafe for backpacks, and there was a crowd of people, we had to wait about 20 minutes for the hutch, but they were worth it)

Before leaving the city, we got there in 20 minutes, another 10 were already traveling with the local huntsman, who took out garbage from the gorge, while in the front seat o_O
He drove us straight to Lake Kara-Köl. We tried the local beer and lemonade, and then at midnight we listened to how the local guys are walking on that side of the lake, and they were walking very loudly.

In advance I apologize for the mistakes, it is very unusual to make posts from the phone.
