Seasonality
Summary
Rapping the middle route much nicer than off the backside (the Russian Tower approach is loose & prone to rockfall)
Access issues inherited from Karavshin
The threat of terrorism seems to have dissipated in the years since Tommy Caldwell & Beth Rodden got shot at in their portaledge. From the early 2020s, the region unfortunately seems to be scene to increasingly violent border tensions with the Tajikistan military. The potential for sporadic, violent clashes is real. Best to check with your embassy on the current situation before booking any trips.
Ethic inherited from Karavshin
Many of the routes use Russian Alpine grades. These are unsupported on the crag so have been converted to UIAA. Take these conversions with a massive grain of salt.
