- Rising over 15,000 ft, the Pamir Highway is the second-highest highway in the world. In January 2020, three geniuses set out to drive it in a fragile Russian van in the dead of winter.
Their goal was to discover unclimbed ice somewhere along the 2,900 miles of winding frozen road. Did they succeed? Perhaps. But one thing is for sure, the trip didn't go as planned.

Big thanks to The North Face and Black Diamond Equipment for supporting this trip!
This deserves WAY more views. Keep it up guys!
and way more likes!
Absolutely agreed. Nicely edited and cool content
I've been several time in Southern Kyrgyzstan and went along the Highway in May. Got snowed in on the border with Tajikistan on May 31st... Never, ever thought somebody would go out there in winter and just go ice climbing. Mad effort guys!
I do appreciate your approach...so rare in these days. Kudos!
Wow, thats was an awesome adventurious story ever saw. So glad that every1 got back safely & only mechanical hic-up was the only downfall. Thx 4 sharing on Utube
the faith you put in that van is intense. badass adventure 👍
wow that was really intense man.........kudos for keeping your shit together leading that slushy free-standing pillar!
Beautiful expedition and great movie!! Thanks!!
Man thank you so much for making this and sharing it, what a great watch!
Those guys are so lucky, like really! to see that part of the World and it's people. Proper blessed
You're absolutely right. There were sooo many times during this trip when we felt like the luckiest guys on earth. The worst shit I deal with in the USA is nothing compared to what the kind people in these countries deal with on a daily basis.
Word. Nice trip; I'm sure Buhanka is still driving up and down that road. I want to go next time.
wow very interesting experience friend
Epic stuff! Some really bold climbing and a beautiful and rare adventure.
Man thank uou so much for making this and sharing it, what a great watch!

Ooo looked like a mega trip, climbed for a long time since young now 41 but still not tried ice climbing. Well interesting nice one glad your all sorted 👌
Epic adventure man, thanks for sharing!
Wow that's amazing, it's beautiful, it's like i have no words to describe it... Good job guys
Thanks so much guys for coming out to central Asia. Was great to meet you and hopefully you'll be back!
Thank YOU for all the help! Central Asia is so rad! Everyone should check it out. I know I will definitely be back!
sorry, but the last picture wasn´t done on ak-baital pass. the name of this place is kyzyl-art. for some of you it may sounds know-it-all-like, but mixing up places and names isn´t what you would like to see if it concerns places in your area. so please try to stay with the hard facts. even if they are 1000 ft lower. besides this - great film!
You're absolutely right. We're idiots and we failed to take a photo at the real Ak-Baital pass. We also didn't realize our mistake until months later after this video had been made.
I can understand why you wouldn't appreciate seeing confusion like this about places you know well. I sincerely apologize.
Awesome! Great video, enjoyed watching this!
Beautiful!
*wow!* what a video.. i just wish you and your loved ones a healthy and hopefully good time on the road! keep up the good work and stay safe..

Why rent that piece of shit when there are plenty of Toyota 4x4 available there?
