With my companions, Dillon Coleman and Antony Kitchin, we tarversed the Wakhan from the West in June/July this year and reached the Ice Cave July 7 with a group of Wahki and Kirghiz horsemen.
We then explored Little Pamir and returned via Sarhad, Ishkashem and Khorog.
We made some interesting finds in relation to the source of the Oxus, which we hope soon to publish.

Along with my wife Mareile and our donkey, we crossed the entire Wakhan Corridor and went over another pass into Pakistan, in September 2005.
