Pre-Expedition
Meetings
Our programme of monthly weekend training meets is unique
to Adventure Peaks and are arranged throughout the year.
All deposit paid members are invited. The meetings are
held at various mountain locations throughout Britain
and provide the opportunity for you to meet your fellow
climbers and members of other expeditions on a monthly
basis, ask questions, develop skills and train together.
You dont just meet at the airport and wonder who
you will be climbing with. The meets are optional and
free, however in the past they have proven to be worthwhile
and valuable. Read

Team
Composition
The team leader provided by Adventure Peaks will climb and
work with the group to create a team approach to the expedition
thus allowing greater flexibility and self reliance away from
direct guiding. The strength of our expeditions has always
been in our ability to develop such a team approach. Success
and enjoyment is our main aim, therefore members need to be
good team members with appropriate experience for their chosen
expedition.
