Description
On this Khan Tengri climb, you will have the chance to reach the summit of a spectacular 7,010 m (23,000 ft) mountain in the Tian Shan range in Kyrgyzstan. This mountaineering challenge will be a severe test of both high-altitude and technical skills. You will enjoy maximum safety under the guidance of an experienced guide in a small group!
In order to join, you will require good physical fitness, endurance, and determination, as well as appropriate equipment, and proper acclimatization. You will need to have prior mountaineering experience having climbed mountains of 5000m or more.
During the climb, we will take adequate measures to properly acclimatize. Furthermore, we will refresh and train the necessary technical skills we need to reach the summit. Overnight on the shores of the gorgeous Issyk Kul, helicopter rides, glacier trekking, and traversing beautiful snowy and rocky ridges will make the experience unforgettable.

I climbed with Anton and Maksim; both really great guys. The trip was fully private with just myself climbing. This was a very fast trip beginning in Terskol; not the huts/barrels. Maksim and I climbed up the barrels from Terskol where we met Anton. Anton and I rested about 6 hours until midnight then made a single push to the summit and back down to barrels. The entire round trip was about 23 hours. The weather was cold, snowing/sleet, lots of wind and little to no visibility. We made good time in challenging conditions. Planning and coordination of the trip was smooth and easy. Great job and great company all the way around. Thanks!
