Itinerary description

3-day hike from Sokuluk valley over Ozerny pass to Ala Archa valley (first to the old skibase and then down to the Alplager). The initial part in Sokuluk beyond the waterfall is a bit confusing, as the path disappears (my GPS track shows crossing the river, but that is a wrong marking, as I kept staying on the western side of it). Later there is a clear path, which disappears again further up the valley. The last part of the climb up to the pass is very rocky and steep and prone to stonefall, though not technical (no crampons etc. needed, as no glacier is crossed).
