From Bumbag Khairkhan Uul, we see the snow-covered peak and decide to make an attempt, heading south toward the Tsetseg village. There, we indulge in our usual daily portion of ice cream. After leaving the village, we drive on a road that is reasonably good. Eventually, the road ends, and we find ourselves in a…

Rob and I are on our way toward another unknown destination. However, not everything is uncertain; we know the summit’s location but are unclear on how to reach the mountain base.
