MYUD pass in Zailiskiy Alatau.

Trekking in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

“When in the spring sometimes 
They want to wander their feet,
Enough dust on the old road,
On a forgotten path in Marlborough.
This path is not repaired,
Who goes there now?
Like the path of life
It curls somehow...
It's just a direction
Mapping the path.
It's just an opportunity
Go and go"

G. Thoreau.

Route through MYUD pass.
From Solnechnaya Polyana along the right (cross from the left early in the morning) bank of the Left Talgar River, move up the valley to its confluence with the Ulken-Mynzhilki River. From this place the trail (along the Ulken-Mynzhilka River) gradually turns northwest and goes along a slope overgrown with juniper thickets.
After an hour of movement, the tongue of the Kalesnik glacier appears in the northeast. After another hour of moving to the northwest, we approach the steep tongue of the Severtsov glacier and, having gone around it, we come out onto the body of the glacier.
Climbing up the relatively flat glacier is technically simple. There are parking areas on the left side moraine of the glacier. From here the Severtsov peak is clearly visible, separating the Severtsov passes (in the west) and MYUD (in the east). To the north, the saddle of the Severtsov Pass is closed by the peak of S. Stalsky, to the west of which there is a pass of the same name.
The direct ascent to the pass from the left side moraine of the Severtsov glacier takes place along small and medium scree with a steepness of up to 30 degrees, 150 - 200 meters long and takes about 45 minutes. The tour is located on the rocks on the left side of the saddle.
The descent from the pass to the Bogatyr glacier passes along a snow-ice slope with a steepness of up to 30 degrees, and then along the right side of the glacier to a moraine lake. In total, crossing the pass to this place takes about 5.5 hours.
