Kyrgyzstan Expedition july-august


Map of the region with our climbs and attempts
The team freshly arrived in the Djangart.

In july and august I spend 3 weeks in the Djangart region of Kyrgyzstan, we were 6 danish and 1 british climber. It was my first expedition to the greater ranges, but surely not the last.
A great adventure with great people in a remote region of the world, with 4 first ascents. Our team (Sune Buur, Anders Hedeager Pedersen and me) did the first ascent of
Peak Pernille (5190m) by our route "Waiting for the tide" - (AD: 55, 700m) and made an attempt on Pt. 5025 on which we did not succeed.

Carsten Cooper - Jensen and Simon Lund Jensen made the first ascent of Peak Kathryn (4885m) by their route "Russian Roulette" (AD: 60, 700m)

Kristoffer Szilas and Jim Broomhead made the first ascent of Peak Lea (4950m) by their route "Mermaid" (D: M4, 70, 500m) and Peak Alexandre (5290m) - "Bivouac - French for mistake" (D: 5,4, 70, 700m)
