  • Rising over 15,000 ft, the Pamir Highway is the second-highest highway in the world. In January 2020, three geniuses set out to drive it in a fragile Russian van in the dead of winter.
    Their goal was to discover unclimbed ice somewhere along the 2,900 miles of winding frozen road. Did they succeed? Perhaps. But one thing is for sure, the trip didn't go as planned.

    I've been several time in Southern Kyrgyzstan and went along the Highway in May. Got snowed in on the border with Tajikistan on May 31st... Never, ever thought somebody would go out there in winter and just go ice climbing. Mad effort guys!

      You're absolutely right. There were sooo many times during this trip when we felt like the luckiest guys on earth. The worst shit I deal with in the USA is nothing compared to what the kind people in these countries deal with on a daily basis.

    sorry, but the last picture wasn´t done on ak-baital pass. the name of this place is kyzyl-art. for some of you it may sounds know-it-all-like, but mixing up places and names isn´t what you would like to see if it concerns places in your area. so please try to stay with the hard facts. even if they are 1000 ft lower. besides this - great film!

    • @jacramer11
      @jacramer11  3 роки тому +3

      You're absolutely right. We're idiots and we failed to take a photo at the real Ak-Baital pass. We also didn't realize our mistake until months later after this video had been made.
      I can understand why you wouldn't appreciate seeing confusion like this about places you know well. I sincerely apologize.
