Teberda - Arkhyz. Day 6

Trail description

Ascent to the Ozerny Arkhyzsky Pass — that was the plan, but in reality, I don't know the name of the pass we actually climbed, though it might have been that one. After that, everything went off track. Because camping was prohibited in the nature reserve, we needed a different place to stay. Instead of descending, we traversed all the passes at an elevation of 2500 +/-100 m back and forth; the campsite we had planned turned out to have no water, so we hiked the next day's distance to reach a proper campsite near the observatory. Almost the entire day after leaving the pass, we were in a cloud with visibility of only 50-100 meters. It was very unusual; it felt like we were walking in circles😵‍💫
