Hike on Zaravshan Ridge Bashny.Net

This may seem trivial, but in fact it is exactly what we are attracted to the mountain peaks - this solitude with his personal God. Step by step you rethink your life - again and again, every ascent and descent. You have to rub your heels, you're buckling under the heaviest rucksack, without water, and a little higher - and without air. And in this extreme mode you want to live. Not in the office, as plankton, and there, high up in the mountains when you proudly look down.
