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 don’t 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 more>>>


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.

 

Responsible Tourism
We are aware that we have a responsibility to each place we visit and that our trips have an impact on the people, their local community and the environment. We always use a British expedition leader who works in conjunction with local staff.We provide the technical and safety expertise and the local people provide the local knowledge.We learn from each other and regularly provide technical training. We orgainse expeditions and treks to have minimal impact on the environment - we operate on small groups (max10), discourage the use of wood for fuel, avoid polluting water, remove all litter and where possible and practical human waste. We buy many items from the local community, provided the quality is of an acceptable level, for example food, snacks and base camp equipment.
