Found an interesting video thats worth a look about the russian expedition to Northeast face of Muztagh tower. Subsequently, the ascent won one of the 2013 piolet d'or's.

It is interesting to see the evolution of organized russian climbing, especially since the heavy criticism they got in the first ascent of the North face of the Jannu. From what I understand the Muztagh tower team went in alpine style but took a haul bag of food and fuel. In true eastern european style they summited in less then ideal weather after running out of food and fuel two days before summiting.

Also in good style, besides a few dropped ice screws, nothing was left to face according to the AAJ report.
The route is called
Think Twice (3,400m, ED 6a A2 M6).
