1st August
All of the group arrived at Pendant 3230m in readiness to set off at 1am for the summit of Mt Kinabalu 4095m, then followed a successful attempt for the whole team. Then the worlds highest via ferrata originally opened by Sir Chris Bonnington. Then 2400m descent. The team have an early start for our flight out to see the turtles and orang-utans to bring a full intensive itinerary to a relaxing end.
Looking for a last minute expedition to some spectacular summits and departing soon? We still have availability on all of these trips! We also have several guaranteed 6000m and 7000m peaks for summer and autumn.
How’s your personal organisation? Knowing your gear, layering, glove systems, getting ready in sub-zero conditions, being on time and being ready to accept the unexpected. On paper all this appears so simple, but fumbling with gloves in a sub zero blizzard can result in frost bitten fingers very quickly. Read more about personal organisation.
For many people, choosing to climb a 7000m peak is the next big step up, so how do you make sure you choose the right one? We’ve put together a guide to help you decide.

Andrey has called from ABC to say the team are now back down safe after making their summit bid.
This autumn we have teams heading to all three of the most interesting and enjoyable routes up Kilimanjaro Africa’s highest peak, but which one will you choose? Selecting a route can often be a tough choice with so much information. Which is the most difficult, has the best scenery, the most footfall or the best acclimatisation?
Adventure Peaks stocks the widest range of High Altitude boots anywhere in the UK, we are the only place you can try on multiple types of double and triple boots and compare the fit under one roof. We are the altitude experts!
Expeditions and Treks can both require specialist equipment and it is important you plan ahead to ensure your gear is appropriate and fits!
17th September: Arrived safely at Uttarkashi, lovely scenery with a sense of remoteness setting in. Road very exciting! But we have an amazing driver.
Report received from Leader, Dave:
13th Aug – Dave rang today from Petropavlovsk. Â In the last 2 days they climbed Tolbachik volcano, which was erupting whilst they were there and Dave described as stunning. They have had some tough days – one day they walked 27kg including 1800 metres of ascent. Tomorrow they will head out again, this time to trek up Gorely volcano and the day after they plan to trek up Mytnovsky which will end their climbing sessions. Then it’s back to Moscow for a night and then home.
