OMG I can’t believe you did it yourself without porters, I’m so proud of you guys!

[@WaypointofView]

Hahah, it was not easy with all that weight and we were certainly questioning our choice about half way hiking up through the snowstorm! 😂 But thankfully it all worked out okay and WOW it really was a beautiful hike!! 😍😍

Is that Kir"Snickers"tan? 🤣🤣 Wonderful hike and scenery, you guys while we're overlooking the Med here in Sicily. Enjoy!

Hey guys! Tell me, where did you rent the things? Is it possible to rent a tent there?

[@alies007]

Hey guys! We saw you on track (we crossed the river almost together), I'm grad to see you again! We decided to not stay at the Ala Kul Lake and once this storm started, go over the pass and by the end of the day we was staing in a yurt taking mountain springs bath.

[@WaypointofView]

Well you guys were much faster than we were! Glad to know you guys made it down ok! We were thinking about you guys when we were held up in our tent imagining that you must have hiked over the pass in the middle that snow storm!

As beautiful as this strut has been... My favorite part was the tuna sludge Raman bomb with glacial green, horse infused giardia water...I'm thinking you may have one upped our Ramon glue that accompanied us on several of or Sierra packing trips. Beautiful hike!

[@WaypointofView]

HAH "ramon glue" huh!? Sounds about as appetizing as our ramon bombs!! 😂😂

[@gregsage1605]

@@WaypointofView Lovely stuff. You can use it to plug a leaky dam, ruin a pan, or build a road bed but, when your hungry :~) Have a wonderful time!

[@jessicatonkinson2276]

Hello, in what month you did this treking? Thanks

[@WaypointofView]

Hi! We did this trek in mid September. It was really an amazing hiking experience.

[@erfanhatami8893]

how much was renting gears?

[@aparson2967]

Looks like bear country to me. And a stream that needs to be fished!

[@WaypointofView]

Hah, we were told no bears! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I have come a longggg way with my fear of bears. We actually slept with our food in our tent on this trek 😳😳.. you would have never caught me doing that out West in the US!

[@vertustm]
