\nRussian alpinists \u00a0Valery Shamalo, Vladimir Molodozhen, Denis Sushkoand and \u00a0Andrey Muryshev had planned to ascend a new route on the north west face \u00a0Siguniang (6,250m – Qionglai Shan Range, China\u2019s Sichuan province) where \u00a0Fowler and\u00a0Ramsden established Inside Line, 1500 m ED+ that won the Piolet d’Or in 2003.

\nAfter two weeks of exhausting climbing \u2013 capsule style – they were forced to traverse into Inside Line, which they followed to the top.

\n"We named our route Bloody Sunset (1,150m, VI A4 90\u00b0). It has 14 pitches on rock, and then four steep ice and mixed pitches in the upper couloir to reach the snow\/ice ramp, which although steep, proved to be comparatively straightforward. This route was the hardest big-wall effort of my life, and I was pleased when we were awarded first prize in the Russian Championships."
