route on Aksu mountain

“Transerfing” route on Aksu mountain, Kyrgizstan, by Nefedov brothers. <br /> 5217m. high with 1500m. of vertical gain, 7b+ (5.12c) crux pitch. Pure awesomeness caught on GoPro camera. <br /> At 15th August 2011 two brothers Sergey and Andrey Nefedov (27 and 23 years old) from Saint-Petersburg, Russia, finished their 12-days free-climbing ascent on the summit that was considered to be the most difficult and highest wall of former USSR (now CIS). <br /> The north face has approximately 1500 vertical meters of gain. It’s the most spectacular peak in that valley. <br /> We'd climbed the connection of two old routes (1982 by Troshchinenko and 1996 by Klenov), and named the new variant “Transerfing”. The crux pitch is 7b+. A lot of pitches from 6c to 7a+ are spread around during the ascending. (by Sergey Nefedov) <br /> You may also see my previous video about Nefedovs: <br /> vimeo.com/17453087
