Brief geographical description of the area

The peak "Burevestnik" (2929 m) is located in one of the lateral ridges of the Tunka Goltsy ridge in the Eastern Sayan Mountains. The Tunka Goltsy is the highest ridge in the Eastern Sayan Mountains, stretching in a latitudinal direction for 200 km. The highest point of the ridge reaches 3266 m above sea level in the upper reaches of the Ganga-Khairym gorge. In general, the ridge has sharp alpine forms with deep gorges and wide glacial cirques. For over 100 km - from the Arshan resort in the east to the Shu-Mak pass in the west - there are many peaks in the ridge that are of great interest to climbers. The forest boundary on the southern slopes is 1800 m, on the northern slopes 1600-1700 m. The snow cover almost completely disappears by the end of summer. Glaciation is found only in the western part of the ridge. The peak "Burevestnik" has an elevation of 2929 m above sea level - the highest point in the area (Peak Per'ya 2996 m). The nearest settlements are Arshan and Tagarhay, 25-30 km away. There is a dirt road to the Moigota gorge. It takes 8 hours to reach the base camp on the forest boundary from the gorge. From the base camp, ascend the gorge to the Moraine Ridge. 300-400 m later, turn left to the edge of the "Hanging Valley". Ascend via medium and large scree and rock sections.
