[X-Force]

That is some wicked country. Cool pics.

that's what I was thinking. major pucker factor.

WOW Congrats. And I thought my pucker factor was high in Nov in 4 inch of slush.

Wow, Pakistan. You're brave!

Wow, Pakistan. You're brave! 

That was my first thought too!

Did you wear crampons or just pucker up on that trail?  If it were me they would tell stories for years of the crazy American that said nothing for a week but, "Don't look down. Don't look down.  Don't look down".

Rough looking country.

I just noticed in the third picture one of your guides has a U.S. Army hat on.  Isn't that dangerous for a Pakistani?  I know we are suppose to be allies, but ...

Most all of the locals had some sort of cheep nock-off product from China. I've never seen so many Rayban sunglasses. We were about 80 miles from China for the blue sheep. I never felt threatened at any point in my 20+ day trip.
 We talked a lot about the fallacy of the dangers associated with Alkida. They did say there are areas on the Afgan boarder that are dangerous but even the Pakastanies don't go there. The way I can describe it best is it's kinda like our boarder with Mexico and the drug cartels.

that sheep looks very well fed, but what was it eating? rocks and snow? the pictures look so barren and only rocky that I cant see any vegetation.
that looks like an awesome adventure! I agree on the trail, pucker factor... i would have sat down and been afraid to move!

Very cool pics and I imagine it was quite the experience.  Can't say I would ever try this,  but cool to see others that will.

Don't be so quick to turn away from a trip like this. It truly was one of the greatest trips I'll be lucky enough to go on and cost was about the same for a Canadian Dall sheep hunt and much less than a Stone sheep hunt.

A few more pics.
The rock hut pic is where we stayed the night on the way back out. I always had a 2 man tent to my self but the packers stayed in the huts. All 18 of them!
 I had to post a pic of them with my gun case. I tried to get them to leave it back at the village but my guide wouldnt have it. That poor guy carried that on those narrow trails! No fn way I'd have done it.
