And this is Russia ... ie: what are you worried about?
Seems like the writer is a bit confused to where Khan Tengri is
Nice report anyway.

Anyone have any good reports about guides/operators from this neck of the woods? It just seems every report I read isn't exactly ... Positive. I prefer to use local guides/outfitters but as I said not many positive reports... I'd like to hear the good reports and recommendations....

7summits club seems to get a lot of good reports. Of course their prices did go up when the popular Dark Summit book came out and had a lot of positive remarks about them.
Based in Russia, they aren't perhaps genuine local, but more local than any western company.

Thanks for posting this, archm. I THROUGHLY enjoyed reading this.
It took a little while but was well worth it. The pictures are simply stunning.

Hey I might be in the Pamirs this summer.
Radson, You are interested in KT? We should talk. As of now, I have four friends interested in Pik Kommunizma. One of them is Russian and another Kurdish so we got the local connections.
I'm in Kathmandu now so the Pamirs will be a hop and skip away.

Howdy Kev, yeah KT aint happening for me this year. I am hoping to hit the Khumbu post monsoon but Im a bloody employee now working fairly regular 3 weeks on / 3 week off shifts so I dont quite have the flexibility I used to.

Yeah it sounded really dodgy and super uncomfortable
