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.

The SE ridge & arete. The approach on the glacier between Odessa and LOMO is somewhat serious (go early; stick to the Odessa side)

The AAC topo has a route drawn here. It seems that topo has either i) mislabeled it as the SE Ridge or, ii) has been drawn in the wrong location
