Damn fine work, mate. Having some experience with the climbing and conditions around Kyrgyzstan, I can only imagine how ballsy and committing it is to do it solo.
A few years ago I tackled Pik Lenin with some Russian climbers, and though I didn't find that peak particularly technical, the altitude and environmental hazards made for a very long time on the mountain, and a long time spent above 6000m. Khan Tengri is a definite step up, and the idea of navigating some of those crevasse fields solo sounds incredibly stressful.
