2022 Expedition to Tajikistan

In August 2022, Alex Metcalfe and three other alpinists travelled to the Rushan Range of the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan

to explore the Zaroshkul Glacier and attempt a new line on one of the Range's highest peaks.

Alex's previous AC expedition to Kyrgystan in July 2021 was reported in the Summer Issue 2022 of the AC Newsletter.

He is a professional photographer.

 

Join us at 6.30pm for a meal and drink in the bar before the lecture.
