Pik Okhotnichiy is 3,099 m, in the Chimgan mountain knot. Lower than Bolshoy Chimgan (3,309 m), but the card does not sell it as an easier Chimgan: the finish goes through rock and snowfields, for people “ready to overcome difficulties”. It is the only one of the four that singles out spring: snowfields and flowering valleys.
