Join us for a presentation of the first ascent of Yashkuk Sar (6,668m) via the Tiger Lily Buttress (AI 5+ M6 A0; 2,000m) by August Franzen. August was a member of a three-man team, with Dane Steadman and Cody Winckler, who spent 2 months on the boarder of Pakistan and Afghanistan and were the first American climbing expedition to the Chapirson Valley. The team spent 45 days in Basecamp waiting for the perfect window- after 5 days of high altitude climbing, the team was the first to stand on the coveted summit of Yashkuk Sar.
