Kyrgyzstan Expedition 2024
The expedition's aim was to explore and establish new climbing routes in the Ashat Valley of Kyrgyzstan. After warming up in the Ak-Su Valley with repeats of established routes, including Perestroika Crack, La Voie de Droite, and Reluctant Chief/Missing Mountain, they made a five-day trek to the less-developed Ashat Valley. Here they were faced with unsettled weather, with regular afternoon thunderstorms and snowfall above 3,000m. Despite this, the Hill brothers succeeded in establishing a new E3 line of 9 pitches, which they named 7 O'Clock Sharp. Elmer and Harvie attempted an obvious corner system, but were forced to retreat due to extremely poor rock.
