Kyrgyzstan Faces 2022
This year ISM celebrated 25yrs of expedition climbing in Kyrgyzstan, with a fantastic trip to the Fergana Range in the Tien Shan, close to the border of China.
ISM have always felt it important to keep exploring the virgin
summits and remote, little explored mountain ranges throughout
Kyrgyzstan.
But the success of all our trips hasn't just been the first Ascents (FA's) of unclimbed summits and continued exploration of these remote ranges, but the many people and faces that make up the rich tapestry of both the nomadic Kyrgyz culture and life, the country's colourful history dating back to before the famous Silk Road and the expedition members themselves and their shared experiences.
Enjoy a few faces from this years expedition.
