Ama Dablam
The South West Ridge of Ama Dablam is a beautiful route, on mainly good rock, with sections of mixed climbing and a snowy finale. We go in the late autumn season, when typically there are fewer people on the mountain and the weather is cold but stable. To date (2023) we have organised 19 expeditions to Ama Dablam.

Carstensz Pyramid
Carstensz Pyramid is the most mysterious of the Seven Summits. Rising from the dense tropical jungle of West Papua, reaching the base of the mountain is a major challenge in itself. To join one of our expeditions, you need rock climbing experience to grade UK 'Severe' (US 5.4).

NepalIntroduction
There are more than 400 mountains in the world over 7,000m high and they are all in Asia.
Containing the great peaks of the Himalaya, Karakoram, Tien Shan and the Pamir, Asia can boast the most exciting climbing in the world and climbing among them is a calling few mountaineers can ignore.
The diversity of these mountain ranges is immense, mainly due to the climate, which is profoundly affected by the mountains themselves. The great barrier of the Himalaya prevents the summer monsoon from crossing it, so Nepal to the south is lush and forested, while Tibet to the north is a high altitude desert. Expeditions to the Himalaya usually take place either side of the monsoon, in the spring or autumn. The Chinese Pamirs and the Tien Shan are barely reached by the monsoon, and it is colder, so the summer months are the best time to go there.
Our expeditions to the great Asian mountain ranges are mostly tried and tested objectives. The easier climbs such as Stok Kangri and Mera Peak are best described as treks culminating in the ascent of a non-technical peak. At the other end of the scale, we have some major undertakings which are only available to accomplished climbers, such as Putha Hiunchuli, Everest and Ama Dablam. In between, we offer the widest choice of expedition objectives available.
