Report about backpacking trip 2 difficulty category (participation)
Our trip began
at night of May, 3, 1991 from railway station Sverdlovsk.
We left train in 6.40 next mornings in Chelyabinsk where we
move to electric train Chelyabinsk-Miass. Be careful Miass
rather artful city. We should leave at station called native
“old station of Miass” and on the nail move to train Miass-Uchaly
which wait us in this station. But we do not search for simple
ways. At once we have jumped out from electric train Andrew
has confidently ordered “Back!” We believed native of Chelyabinsk
and quickly dropped back and reached to the basic station
of Miass.
There we should reached Miass II by bus up and get the other train to Uchaly. But again, we listened Andrew and left the bus not in Miass II and “old station of Miass” where our first train already left. As the result - we have missed both trains.
For start our hiking trip it was necessary to run about over Miass with backpacks to find freight train then negotiate with foot-plateman and reach up Uchaly in a back cabin of the locomotive.
Our trip began with lot of mistakes and I made a mistake too. I put on new gumshoe and get good corns. For repairing my mistake I found piece of linoleum and made an insole by my knife then by same knife I pierce corns and my life became beautiful.

All right, at 3
p.m we reached Ucahly! The first we passed on dusty road through
the village Urgunovo near the lake Urgun. Then crossed small
river near village Kalkanovo and stayed for night. Mountains
it is not visible yet, around us flat, like a table, Bashkiria.

We rose at
7.00, had breakfast and at 9.20 left. For the morning
exercise we climbed on rather high mountain. On a
descent made some photographs, looked round in the
field-glass and walked according azimuth, forced some
bogs and branches of river Belaja, on one of branches
had dinner and took the sun. After dinner we passed
through a saddle of ridge Avaliak. It was rather difficult
in fast rate to get on Avaliak.
This trip became
really sports. Maybe it happened because the head of a trip
Victor Alekseevich Olenev is the master of sport. Though he
is not young but walked quickly.

Today we overslept
and got up at 7.40 then after breakfast walked light to highest
point of ridge Avaliak (1142 m). Unfortunately we cannot find
this point but doesn’t doubt because we saw beautiful panorama
of ridge Iremel. When we returned back to parking and about
hour looking for our backpacks, quite bad “amusement”. After
dinner at 17.20 we come to saddle of ridge Iremel between
mountains Big and Small Iremel. The ridge of mountains settles
down "horseshoe" and we went, not losing height
on this "horseshoe" and if have gone down downwards
will be difficult to through bogs which in lowland. In 2 hours
we reached saddle and stayed the night
May, 7, 1991
Since morning
from camp which locates between two mountains Iremel
we ascended for 1 hour and 45 minutes to mountain
Big Iremel.
And in the evening, after descent in base
camp, we ascended on mountain Small Iremel. There
was interesting «the lunar landscape» on it and little
lower we found a last year's cowberry which we with
pleasure had a meal.
May, 8, 1991
Since morning on
a good track we quickly reached settlement Tjuljuk and decided
didn’t wait the bus there and walked about 5-7 kilometers
then we caught the passing lorry and little ride. Then walked
along road to settlement Sibirka about 10 kilometers and fixed
a camp.
May, 9, 1991
After breakfast
we continue walked along the road to settlement Sibirka along
ridge Nurgush. Then we passed along ridge Moskal and decided
to ascend on anonymous mountain height of 1220 meters. Before
ascension we had dinner, hid backpacks and started ascend.
During our ascension I constantly marked trees by my knife
(the best way to find backpacks). On the peack of mountain
I found welded of small pyramid and put our message inside
(maybe somebody find it further) and then went down precise
along my on labels and quickly found our "precious"
backpacks.
Again we are on the road to Sibirka. We walked a half an hour and saw from road settlement and stayed the night before settlement about 2 kilometers. In this evening we prepared for celebratory supper and gone to bed. At night I heard voice of wolves near us.

This morning came
in Sibirka and found out that the bus departed to Satka at
11 but actually it left at 10.35. So to come beforehand sometimes
it happens not bad. In a village the drunken forester approached
to us, demands our documents and the routing book but Victor
Alekseevich gave him nothing because we could got lot of problems.
There were fires in a wood and he can accuse us on it and
if he takes our documents and put it in his pocket we couldn’t
go away. In five minutes his wife appeared and ordered him
“Go home!” it save us from long and tiresome conversation
with him. He came teetering and quickly disappeared.
At 12 hours we arrived in city Satka, bought tickets up to Sverdlovsk. The train departed at 19.10 (Moscow time) and goes through Druginino where at the morning we move on an electric train up to Sverdlovsk.
