The Russian team of Vladislav Dubrovin, Vadim Kalinkin, Konstantin Markevich, and Dmitry Skotnikov completed the first ascent of Svarog (4,960m), the central peak of the north-facing wall at the head of the Ashat Gorge. The team spent 10 days ascending the wall, climbing capsule-style and using extensive aid, including dozens of bolts for protection, belays, and rappels. A blank wall and the nearly horizontal 15-meter roof above it (pitches 18 and 19) were climbed almost entirely with bolts. The climbers reported the route as 1,250m, with 700m on the big-wall portion, and graded the ascent 6B A3+.
