Ascension on peak Kyzyl-Asker.

Kyzyl-Asker Peak is located at an altitude of 5842 meters above sea level in the main ridge of the Western Kokshaal-Too ridge in At-Bashinsky district of the Naryn region. The peak of Kyzyl-Asker is the second highest after the peak of Dankov with a height of 5982 meters above sea level in the western part of the Kokshaal-Too ridge.
The region of the Kyzyl-Asker massif is one of the main centers of glaciation in Western Kokshaal-Too. In the upper reaches of the Karagermes glacier, there is the Kyzyl-Asker massif with peaks: the Main Kyzyl-Asker and the northern Kyzyl-Asker peak.
The massif of the summit is composed of granites. Dankov Peak is located 30.5 kilometers to the east and a little to the north in the Western Kokshaal-Too ridge. From the northern slopes of the summit descends the Karagermes Western glacier, 9 kilometers long.
The Kechiksu glacier extends 6.8 kilometers to the south from the summit. In the main ridge of the Western Kokshaal-Too ridge there is a rock-ice wall 3.8 kilometers long. After 1.2 - 1.3 kilometers from its beginning from the south-west, there is an array with two peaks Main and Northern Kyzyl-Asker.
The southeastern wall of the peak consists of monolithic granites. From the south side, 7 rock and ice routes were laid to the top. The southeastern wall of the peak is composed of strong, monolithic granites, with a height difference of up to 1000 meters, the slope steepness is up to 70 °.
Currently, three different routes have been laid on the main wall: Odintsova, "War and Peace", "Spear" and "Ecuadorian", which passes through one of the eastern bastions. An expedition led by August Letavet, in the period from August 1 to September 1, 1933, gave the name to this peak - Kyzyl-Asker (Red Army).
