Khorogh, Tajikistan Graveyard Toprope

International > Asia > Tajikistan > the Pamir

Description

Sunny area, receives the most sun possible here, as it is on a hill on the north side of the valley.
Nobody else climbing here.
Top rope on 8 metre boulder, multiple routes to do. Top anchors easily accessible by walking up the back of the boulder.
Rock is good quality, and very crimpy if you want.

Getting There

Park in the parking lot for land cruisers going to Dushanbe or Murghab. Cross the street and walk up the dirt road to the left and follow it up through the graveyard to a tall and prominent boulder.
The Approach is about a 5-10 walk up the hill.
