Just thought I'd share my experience in Kyrgyzstan with you guys. Deadlines for grants are coming up and it might give you some inspiration!

Read my version of our trip and see my photo's here.

Hi Dave, in 2009 we camped at the snout of the Kotur Glacier and it seems you camped and hiked not far from that place. So I'm afraid the most of boulder problems shown on your photos saw their first ascents in 2009 !

Check out our trip report:

Fair enough! Thought that might have been the case. Turns out I still haven't climbed a new route!

Sergey is a hero, he rebuilt the suspension on that truck over night at about 4000m (on top of the hill to the east of the kotur river) then set off back first thing. Beast. Looks like you had a good trip, theres still so much to do round there.
