Khan Tengri North Face direct

 Kazakh climbers Vaso Pivtsov, Alex Sofrygin and Ildar Gabassov just successfully climbed a very difficult direct line on the North Face of Khan Tengri.

The 3 km steep line presents one of the most difficult walls in our region, and, probably, in the world of big walls overall.The last successful climb of the wall was made in 2005, 7 years ago. All other attempts since then have failed.
This is what climbing is all about....
