Summary
- Dykes plans a 300-mile horseback journey through Kyrgyzstan's mountains.
- He expects to encounter temperatures as low as negative 22 degrees.
- This expedition is the second part of his year-long 'Project 6' series.
Ash Dykes, a 36-year-old extreme athlete, is embarking on a new challenge in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. This expedition, planned for a remote location, involves traveling over 300 miles on horseback and braving temperatures as low as negative 22 degrees Fahrenheit.
This undertaking is the second phase of Dykes' "Project 6," an ambitious year-long initiative where he documents six extreme journeys across the globe for his social media followers. His recent viral trek down the Congo River Basin in an inflatable kayak garnered him over four million followers.
Following his return from the Congo, Dykes has been recovering, spending time with family, and regaining over 13 pounds he lost during his travels. He anticipates his next expedition will be significantly more challenging than his previous trip.
