In 2011 I went to Kyrgyzstan with a couple of friends to do some exploration in a small unclimbed range on the border to China. We got flown straight into the middle of the range, which had only been visited a handful of times before. We managed to do some first ascents, however, the main thing was actually the sheer adventure of hiking through unknown valleys and discovering a way to even get to the base of the mountains. Without a single fixed objective one can relax more and just take in the full experience. I highly recommend this way of climbing in the mountains. Throw away your guide books and find your own way on the peaks that look appealing to you.
