Alpine Tien Shan
Altitude 5000m, Duration 9 days, Grade 2B (grades)
Learn alpine skills in the unforgettable location that is the Tien Shan in the Kyrgyz Republic.
Background
This course of alpine training is set in a magnificent and unspoilt area far away from the crowded European Alps, in the beautiful mountains of Ala Ache close to Bishkek. It provides a fully inclusive and cost effective way to learn the essential alpine skills whilst also developing an understanding of expeditions and experiencing a different culture. Only a very small number of people travel to this range of mountains and so there will be a sense of remoteness. The skills taught through the mountain days include: glacial travel, crevasse rescue, roping up, ice axe & crampons technique and movement in alpine terrain. You will tackle a number of stunning 4000m alpine summits.
The course will aim to cover -
• Glacier travel & crevasse rescue
• Avalanche awareness
• Route choice
• Ascent of two or three peaks (4,000m to 5000m).
