Ice diving
- And weather you watched? Snow, blizzard and night -20.
- Yes, and on various Internet sites, it is different, and will have its own special Kaindy, and the snow is knee-deep and without clear forecasts.
- And the way you've seen? There's also a solid ice.
- Nothing, slowly doedem
Only one whole controversy to converge, we must go. Go to see ...
Lake Kaindy as it is there in the winter, the heat if he under the ice and snow, who disturbs him in the winter, whose footprints painted patterns between the Tien Shan spruces.
February 5 Almaty 6-30 am.
It's snowing outside -10, five "slightly ill" people started to head their way into Kolsai Reserve. The road, which was a lot of controversy, was really quite difficult, but not insurmountable. Ice, reel, as well as some clearings way present, rejoice and grieve, but we are overcoming them with every kilometer were closer to their goal.

When they reached the village of Sata, who was chosen base camp before the assault on the lake with a stay and a little snack we moved to explore in order to understand how far the car can drive and how far we have to go on foot. From the road to the rangers we arrived minutes at 30. Then, for the barrier opens untouched snow-covered road going past the birch grove to the sleeping lake. There is no passage. Next, on foot and on horseback.
The distance from the house to the lake rangers five kilometers. The plan is simple: if tomorrow morning on the head does not roll in the snow, we start with the equipment and do something for which all this was started. Dive. Horses carry all that we need, and we ourselves have decided to go on foot, (I'll tell you honestly, I'm not a fig mountain tourist and this walk was heavy). If it is snowing, includes a plan "B", the lake Kolsay, dive there. Benefit to it is much easier to drive in almost any weather. What we have seen, there swept under the snow, the hour at 4 vechera.Vecher. Dinner, toasts to the successful enterprise for good weather for the fucked ... utyh that there is no peace. And surprisingly very early rebound in 10 have all slept. Before going to bed, leaving the street we saw the stars, which means that tomorrow everything will be just fine.
February 6 Sata village, 6-15 am.
Sky is covered, but the head did not roll in, then we go to the lake. The owner of the horses voiced this idea, and it extends to the house huntsman, where 9 am assigned loading gear and start. And the horses and the people were all in place at the time. Loading took 30-40 minutes.
Five horses with our equipment and conductors have gone ahead, we protaptyvaya path. The path to the lake in general is light, deserves a separate writing, although as anyone who walks in the mountains often walk for them, who do not walk test,
In short
"... And the dishes ahead and forward
Through the fields, through the swamps goes.
And iron kettle whispered:
"I can not go any further
And cried saucers:
"Is not it better to return eh?
The only difference is instead of fields and swamps, mountains and snow knee-deep, and if you get off the trail on the most, is the place
Through more than two hours before our eyes opened a spectacular view.
on the ice in the trees
Fatigue removed as hand lane preparation, assembly equipment, everything is a breeze.
Rather see it there under the ice in the first place some visibility, because summer is not always we've eё "catch", the rains in the mountains and muddy streams of the river and the creek is different.
And here we are under water, many times I dived into the lake, and each time delight knew no bounds, but under the ice it was just something.
under ice
window into another world
Futuristic landscape, visibility 15-20 meters
my buddies hanging on the background of this landscape with almost falls out of his mouth regulator, eyes shining with excitement. Another would be the first ice diving in such a unique place. There is something to "lose" his head.
The sun came out on that day due to haze a couple of times, so no good underwater light to make good pictures is quite difficult, as well as remove vidio.
But complain about the weather sin, we were just lucky, as soon as we finished the dive and began again to load the horses again threw snow. Homeward Bound of a winter forest under snow was not heavy. The idea that we dived on Kaindy winter, warmed and gave strength to the back roads, especially as it was going down the hill. By the way an attempt to find a mention in the internet that someone just made a winter tour there, nowhere has led, in the winter there was nobody there, but even if there were, I do not think that the number of these people is great. This winter there even rangers did not go, there was no need, as we were told.
