A question:

The page says the following:

"The Mintaka pass was the main one used in ancient times until the fairly recent advance of glacier ice has forced people in recent times to use the so-called "New Mustagh Pass" (5,800 m or 19,029 ft), about 16 km further west;"

Should that not be the "Mustagh pass" rather than the Mintaka Pass? The Mustagh pass was closed to any kind of reagular travel when Younghusband cross it in 1877 and has been crossed only handful of times since then. The New Mustagh Pass is a bit to the west of the Mustagh pass.

My impression is that the Mintaka and Kilik passes remain usable, except that the Chinese do not permit them to be used as border crossings.

I have no expertise on this subject. I am merely saying that the page seems to be inconsistent with my half-baked knowledge of the status.
