The Road From Karakol

In summer 2011, Outdoor Research athlete Kyle Dempster took off on his bike across Kyrgyzstan with a couple mostly-accurate maps, a trailer full of climbing gear, and a vocabulary of 10 Kyrgyz words. He spent two months pedaling and pushing the bike more than 1200 km on roads of variable states of neglect, wading through wild rivers, dealing with corrupt military checkpoint staff, and soloing a handful of unclimbed alpine rock and mixed routes. He recorded the journey, his camera his only partner, friend, and sometimes the only receiving end of his conversations for days at a time.

This film rocks! One guy, no camera crew. Great adventure. Very entertaining.

Bump. It's worth watching this again to remember Kyle, who just passed attempting the Ogre II. There are some beautiful sections in this video where Kyle reflects on what it would be like to die while out adventuring.
