Kyrgyzstan used to be part of the former USSR, therefore there are military maps around but as you can see they lack detail, clarity and accuracy.
On the 17th of August 2010, , sam Leach,James Monypenny and Tom nichols embarked on an expedition to the Torugart-too area of the Tien Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan, with the objective of exploring new areas and summiting previously unclimbed peaks.
The trip was be self reliant, attempting to summit previously unclimbed peaks in a pure alpine style; leaving no trace.
The trip was exploratory in nature, and aimed to open up new climbing areas, summit virgin peaks, and increase the awareness for british exploration, and help to bring tourism to a struggling area of the world.
