He also climbed big walls in British Columbia and 14 routes on El Capitan, some solo and in winter, for example the route The Nose . Expeditions to Mount Everest , Langtang in Tibet , Rolwaling and Tien Shan followed . In 2006, the first ascent of the north face of Pik Pogrebetskij in Tien Shan was made with a Russian team.
