      <image:caption>This photo above, via the Vargaftik 2016 climbing group, shows a view of Chimtarga Pass that you as a hiker likely won’t see. This is the east side view of Chimtarga Pass from a climbing route above Mutny Lake. Peak Energia on the left, and Peak Chimtarga on the right. This is the most ‘representative‘ view of the pass, as it was taken by a regular lens from a distance. Most other photos in this guide are smartphone camera photos, and they are wide-angle lenses that distort in several ways, one of which is to make the mountains look smaller and the distances shorter.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>August 25, 2014. The top photo is from about 4400 meters, and the bottom photo shows the team at about 4600 meters. They camped just below the pass (the tiny yellow/red triangle), but noted the bad wind overnight. Being mountain climbers doing some high passes and peaks, they would have winter gear. Don’t try to camp in the saddle unless you are similarly equipped.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Alexandrov team then climbed up towards Peak Energia the next day, giving a view of the saddle that trekkers won’t get. In the top photo you can see Chimtarga Pass with the west side still covered in snow. So be aware that a mostly snow-free east side does not guarantee a snow-free west side. But in the bottom photo (west side of the pass) you can see that when they eventually did go down, they didn’t have to go far before the snow disappeared.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Collage above via the Zelentsova climbing group. Top left is Mutny Lake, top right is looking up from the 4100 meter camp, and bottom left shows the view of the pass from the 4400 meter camp, and the bottom right shows the view going down the west side of Chimtarga Pass. These photos are from August 19-20, 2016, and they show what is probably not an uncommon scenario in August or September: the snowfields from the last winter have melted, but a light snowfall has come down. In these conditions (a light layer of fresh snow) I personally would go through without worrying about my footing (no need for crampons), but you should be aware of how water resistant/proof your shoes/boot are, as this may result in cold wet feet - not a situation you want to be in if you can’t get through the pass in a single day. Also, some of the rocky sections may be slippery - not enough to deter someone who is confident in variable weather trail conditions, but it may be a problem for others.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This photo above, from August 29, 2014 by the Shestak group, is the driest, most snow-free photo I could find. Don’t expect these conditions. This seems, based on my survey of available materials, to be a in once in a decade (or two) type of occurrence (although climate change may change that).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Chimtarga Pass</image:title>
      <image:caption>The small snow patch that the red arrow cuts through just below the top of the pass is the remnant of a small cornice, which will be more of an obstacle to a hiker earlier in the year (but you can walk right around it). My photo below is from September 25, 2019 when I passed through Chimtarga Pass without my boots touching any snow at all (except for the easy snow patches just below the 4100 meter camp). A clear trail goes not straight up the center (blocked by a snow field), but above and to the right (it can be seen faintly in this photo).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Chimtarga Pass - 20 August 2010</image:title>
      <image:caption>This photo by a group of Ukrainian climbers shows that in a heavy snow year, there can still be unmelted snow patches in late August. The remaining snow here just barely blocks the trail right below the pass. If you cross a snow patch like this, know that one slip can send you down the slope at high speed (with rocks and boulders waiting for you at the bottom). Of course, this group was composed of climbers and they didn’t deem this little snow patch worthy of putting on crampons. But you should.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The 2019 Chugunov group (PDF link) walked by fresh avalanches between Mutny lake and the 4100 meter camp, and then started on steep, snowy and icy slopes right above the 4100 meter camp. This image show a person between the 4400 meter camp and the 4500 meter camp. The group recommends the use of crampons and ice axes (they met a couple at this camp with nothing but trekking poles). One slip and down the mountain you go without crampons and an ice axe.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Chimtarga Pass - July 21, 2018</image:title>
      <image:caption>So far I have focused mostly on the east side of Chimtarga Pass, but the west side can offer some snow/ice-related difficulties. This photo from the Novosyolov group shows an icy couloir blocking their path about 200 meters below Chimatarga Pass on the west side. The entire group—all mountain climbers—put on their crampons and carried ice axes as they crossed. This photo doesn’t quite show exactly how steep this section actually is. A fall will send you down a few hundred meters in elevation very quickly.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This couloir (a couple hundred meters of elevation drop) on the west side of the pass is, later in the summer, filled with scree and gravel. But in this photo it requires using ice axes and crampons, as the people here are doing. The photo is deceptive, you can’t easily go on the dry ground to the left or right. Above and below are obstacles that require you to stay in the couloir.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>2020 would have been a bad year for trekkers who don’t like steep snow fields. In mid-August a trek through the pass would have involved a steep snow field on the east side, and steep, snow- and ice-filled couloirs on the west side. By mid-September the east side would have been a snow-free trek, but the west side still had a snowy couloir to cross. One Tajik group went through at the beginning of August (plenty of snow underfoot), and 10-year-old climber (below) went up and down the east side just before mid-August (wind-blown snow and a big drift/cornice in the pass).</image:caption>

It’s a little steeper than the photo shows. Good news: on the west side there are very few and very short sections where you might fall further off the trail.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Chimtarga Pass</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of my photos, at about 3900 meters. No trail to be seen, but plenty of routes to choose as you go directly up the valley towards the 4100 meter camp. Walking on melting snowfields and large rocks does not result in a visible trail.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Chimtarga Pass - The stream on the west side of Mutny Lake, July 20, 2018.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I took this photo in the morning after taking off my boots and walking across the stream. Later in the day it does get bigger, but not by enough to make crossing a difficulty. In September the next year the stream was low enough to step across even in the later afternoon.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The photos above show the area around 3500 meters on the west side of Chimtarga Pass. Photo on the left by the Kulagin team on August 28, 2016 (looking up the valley). Photo on the right by myself on September 25, 2019 (looking down the valley). There were plenty of camping spots (flat areas for a tent, and water flowing nearby).</image:caption>

I came from the gorge directly below, the sheep came from the left of the photo (you can see the sheep trails). They were taking a break before their final push through the pass towards home.</image:caption>
