We were to hike to the top of the Krisinartindar peak for some awesome views, but it rained hard and steady the entire hike so the scramble to the top was scrubbed. We gathered together behind a cliff to eat a very abbreviated lunch sheltered by the wind, but not the rain (again). The hike was 10.5 mi.
