In summer 2024, I set out on a scouting expedition to help establish a new bikepacking route in Kyrgyzstan — The Celestial Divide. This very short film is a video narrative documents our traverse of the first 230 km of the route, including three major passes: Kegety, Baymoinok, and Chil Bel. Together with Oleg Sobko https://www.instagram.com/oleg_sobko/, we crossed a previously unexplored by us a segment from Kyzart Pass to Tyuz Ashuu Pass, via the little-known Baymoinok Pass and the narrow Bazarturuk River valley. Scouting particularly this section was one of the major goal of the expedition.
