right
& according to this
http://www.iwpr.net/archive/arr/arr_200210_32_3_eng.txt
there was not yet any road crossing as of 2002
but only a solitary bulldozer with some 100 difficult
miles still to go
so the report of a temporary closure in 2001 may have
only been wishful thinking
or an effectively meaningless gesture
it could also be revealing that the only crossings
mentioned in this account
http://www.wcs.org/international/Asia/centralasia/pamirs
are by snow leopards & marco polo sheep etc
nevertheless there could still be an unofficial afcn
crossing point
at one of 3 places named borogil pass
possibly as shown about a third of the way down this
page
http://www.danmahony.com/binladen1.htm
& as indicated by what looks like a multimap swatch
following the pic
but at the multimap site itself no route or pass is
shown there at all
even the afcn tripoints have completely eluded us
according to the ibs
http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS089.pdf
both of them are on peaks in the mustagh range
afcnpk on an unnamed one
& afcntj on kokrash kol
aka mt povalo shveikovski
lots of mustagh pix at google
but none specifically identified as afcn
let alone as either of these tripoints
so in a nutshell
afcn is still pretty much a complete blank
