As acclimitisation for the main trek, we all had to spend time in the Ala Archa mountains - 30km from Bishkek. We trekked up to 3500m and made a base camp in the flat bits next to a glacier and it's morraine. From here we spent a few days going on walks and made an attempt to climb Uchitel peak but there was too much snow on the final summit ridge - we had to turn back from 4300m which was a bit demoralising - only 200m from the top.
