As you're looking for some ideas in Ala Archa, here's a link to a video I made of a mountaineering trip to Ala Archa last year. It's a superb area to visit.
The first 3 minutes mainly overviews the scenery and wildlife. The next 5 minutes features our ascents on Uchitel Peak 4550m (Russian Grade 1B); Korona Peak 4810m (3A). The final 2 minutes shows our new route on Semenova Tian-Shanski (4,895 m (Russian Grade 4A). Happy memories!
