Tien Shan Unclimbed Peaks
Altitude 4800m, Duration 15 days, Grade 4C (grades)
Live a mountaineer’s true dream; summit a virgin peak in the remote and beautiful region of the Tien Shan .
Background
In 2001, Adventure Peaks Director, Dave Pritt, introduced this exceptional destination which has now seen several highly successful expeditions with over 30 new peaks climbed. The mountains in this remote area of Asia are Himalayan in stature, with the highest peak reaching 7443m. They form the rigid backbone of Kyrgyzstan, wedged between China and Kazakhstan. During our adventure, we will attempt to summit up to three of the yet unclimbed peaks, at altitudes of between 4300-4800m.
We take a rugged approach to the mountains by means of a large six wheel drive former soviet truck (with forward facing seats) to our wild and remote base camp surrounded by extensive unclimbed territory up to 4500m. We take acclimatisation very seriously and undertake initial exploratory walks to identify potential routes and climbs. This is avery7 exciting period; as close to 'true' mountaineering as one could imagine. Most potential peaks require a subsidiary camp that is placed higher in the basin.
This excellent expedition offers a fantastic introduction to the challenges of high altitude mountaineering for those who are technically competent on Scottish Grade 3 ground. There are numerous more technical routes for those who climb at harder grades and there should be some easier routes. Gazing out onto the panorama from Base Camp you will undoubtedly feel the magnetism of these potential challenges. The 23 day expedition offers additional climbing days
KHAN TENGRI EXTENSION 6995M
Khan Tengri’s elegant ridges and pyramidal peak elevate its beauty alongside the distinguished profiles of Ama Dablam and the Matterhorn. You can also include an ascent of this highly prized summit to add to this awesome adventure. see details under Khan Tengri
