Thanks for your reply and for posting your very interesting blog. So are there more Kyrgyz settlements at the lake or did you go to the main ones? I didn't mean technical climbing just a very steep climb on foot.

Thanks Steven for your reply. Yes when i was there in 2016 there were just 2 big Lenin statues plus some other stuff. Balychky is probably better than it was. They were tarmacing the residential roads and a new supermarket had opened. Still it was pretty shabby though.
