It is a continuation of the range going to the South from Cosmosstantsia (Space Observatory)Pass with piles of breakdown rock that goes south to the icy slope of Karniznaya Summit. The range is in alpine tundra altitude zone and above it. An easy half day circuit route hike from the Big Lake below. Lots of wild mountain goat and snow turkey.

  • Actually Zheltoksan is not the correct name. This place was known under so many names it is better to call it Noname summit 3970m. To name a few: Turan Peak, KazGU peak, Financial Specialists Peak, etc.
