That looks incredible. 5 days alpine style, sleeping in a haulbag.... The report is pretty funny, good reading. http://www.mountain.ru/article/article_display1.php?article_id=5794

I also understood the current ethic in the Greater Ranges that of 'you must reach the summit to claim the route'. Otherwise you've just climbed some difficult new ground.
