8th August 2025 - Summit Success on Malchin Peak

Yesterday the team made the dramatic 15km trek to base camp, assisted by Bactrian Camels which are used to transport all the equipment. They were also rewarded with their first views of their climbing objectives: Malchin Peak, Nairamdal & Mount Khuiten (As seen right to Left in the last photo below). Today, the team broke the 4000m barrier with their ascent of Malchin Peak. It was a long ascent ascending scree slopes. Tomorrow, they will have a rest day and then plan to move up to the high camp on Sunday, with a view to climb Mount Khuiten on Monday and Nairamdal on Tuesday.
