It was great. Got v lucky - arranged my trek when all the agencies were closed for winter and turning people away. My guys just asked for a bit more money. It was utterly glorious, especially knowing that me and my guide were the last people trekking up there this year. Up to 25 degrees in the day, down to -5 at night, waking up beside a frozen water bottle. Big mistake was bringing a one-season sleeping bag made of paper, so had to sleep in a lot of clothing. Views and landscape were staggering. Would put up some photos if I knew how.
I was meant to go to Kazakhstan as well, but they closed the border as there was some political tension due to the presidential election.

No, he's using hotels - when it's about a tenner a night, why wouldn't you? Here's his website - he's way behind with his blog, but says he's just going to write it all up when he gets back. His English is excellent.

He's going back to try to win Tour Divide next year. I scared him a little by telling him @skinny is doing it.
