Lynn the area is open from April 15 to August 15. Rest are storms, blizzards, rain, sleet, snow and only people used to it can survive. Just imagine having a bath from April 15 to Aug 15 because you need fuel to melt the ice. The favorite perfume there is Eau de Smoke from the wood being burnt. You are on what is commonly called the roof of the world. Pamirs.
