Description

Between the Chong Kyzyl Suu Valley and the Kichi Kyzyl Suu Valley lies Jiluusuu Peak, the first summit seen snow-covered year-round, closest to Lake Issyk Kul. It stands at an altitude of 3985 meters. 

The peak is named after the hot springs of the Chong Kyzyl Suu Valley, which translates to "warm water." To the east is the Ayutor Glacier Lake, a small lake about 170 meters in diameter. 

Unfortunately, the glaciers around this mountain have melted, leaving behind moraines, although the eastern face is often snow-covered. 

Access to the summit is reserved for experienced climbers, with the western face being more accessible from the Kichi Kyzyl Suu Valley. The small massif that includes this mountain is rarely frequented by climbers, who are generally more interested in the mountains along the Teskei Ridge.
