ACG members Will Sim, Uisdean Hawthorn, John Crook, Ally Swinton and Tom Livingstone went to the Hindu Raj range in Pakistan in autumn 2019, establishing a new route on the north-west face of Koyo Zom (6877m). Recently several members of the ACG have made ascents of the fabled ephemeral test piece Beyond Good and Evil on the Aig. des Pelerins above Chamonix and in the fleeting Scottish winter conditions this year a clutch of VIII’s have been climbed by ACG members.
