there was not yet any road crossing as of 2002<br/>
but only a solitary bulldozer with some 100 difficult<br/>
miles still to go<br/>
so the report of a temporary closure in 2001 may have<br/>
only been wishful thinking <br/>
or an effectively meaningless gesture<br/>
<br/>
it could also be revealing that the only crossings<br/>
mentioned in this account<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.wcs.org/international/Asia/centralasia/pamirs">http://www.wcs.org/international/Asia/centralasia/pamirs</a><br/>
are by snow leopards & marco polo sheep etc<br/>
<br/>
nevertheless there could still be an unofficial afcn<br/>
crossing point<br/>
at one of 3 places named borogil pass <br/>
possibly as shown about a third of the way down this<br/>
page<br/>

& as indicated by what looks like a multimap swatch<br/>
following the pic<br/>
<br/>
but at the multimap site itself no route or pass is<br/>
shown there at all <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
even the afcn tripoints have completely eluded us<br/>
<br/>
according to the ibs<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS089.pdf">http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS089.pdf</a><br/>
both of them are on peaks in the mustagh range<br/>
afcnpk on an unnamed one<br/>
& afcntj on kokrash kol <br/>
aka mt povalo shveikovski<br/>
<br/>
lots of mustagh pix at google <br/>
but none specifically identified as afcn<br/>
let alone as either of these tripoints<br/>
<br/>
so in a nutshell <br/>
afcn is still pretty much a complete blank<br/>
