Anyone know about Manpupuner a.k.a The Seven Strong Men? Somewhere in Russia. Very remote.
I saw a segment about it on the Nat. Geo. channel. Very cool. 200' limestone towers on a barren hill top. Internet sources say they're unclimbable. From the pics I saw, they look very climbable.

That's pretty wild. Knowing the Russians that I do, I can't imagine that those towers have never been climbed.

Those look pretty awesome. I wonder how remote "Very rmote" is... *googles* Looks pretty damn remote. All the sources say unclimbable even by experienced climbers, but I am pretty sure they are full of shit. Someone has climbed those for sure.

Look sweet! Remind me a lot of the sandstone towers around here:
I would also be very surprised if it is true that no-one has climbed any of them...

200 mile helicopter flight to reach them? Remote indeed.

They've been climbed. This was discussed before, although perhaps not on this site.
