After some acclimatisation walks from base camp, they've now moved up to ABC/C1 where they'll spend the next 3 days climbing Pik Kholm (4,700m) and Pik Yukhin (5,100m).

Here’s a few select photos and the summit updates. Photos from 08.20am Tuesday showing Jagged Globe teams topping out on the French Basque route on Alpamayo. IFMGA Francisco Ostos with Mark and Chris, Aspirant Guide Hernan with Laura and David. A massive day starting at midnight, descending to Base Camp that evening, with huge support from our brilliant crew. The French Direct route had a large lump halfway up, so this year’s safest line was...]]> http://jagged-globe.co.uk/news/item.php?id=3702 Tom 2026-06-15T16:50+01:00 There is now just one place left this summer season on our Oberland 4000ers course.

Here's a snapshot of the opening paragraph: What are we training for? The end goal is being able to complete back-to-back days of mountain activity - specifically 6 - 8 hours walking per day, culminating in a 12 - 15-hour summit day round-trip, where you'll climb 1,200m in ascent and descend 2,000m. The terrain underfoot is rocky in places with loose...]]> http://jagged-globe.co.uk/news/item.php?id=3700 Tom 2026-06-09T09:29+01:00 Due to a cancellation we have 1 place available on Mont Blanc Summit 9 - 16 September 2026. There is also a Mont Blanc Extension place on 29 August - 2 September 2026 (only available if you have completed a week of climbing beforehand). 2027 Mont Blanc courses are also filling up - June 2027 is now FULL. There are places in September 2027.]]> http://jagged-globe.co.uk/news/item.php?id=3699 Tom 2026-06-09T09:17+01:00 Jamie Holding updates from Huaraz, Peru. "We had a morning briefing for the Alpamayo team, with Saul, and the Huayhuash trek team, with Damian. Both groups are spending three nights in Huaraz at 3,000m to kick start their acclimatisation. Today we had a late afternoon stroll to a viewpoint at 3,500m."]]> http://jagged-globe.co.uk/news/item.php?id=3698 Tom 2026-06-08T16:05+01:00 UPDATED: Team member, Chris Queen messaged via InReach that the team summited yesterday and in his words it was "harder than a 100 miler" (Chris completed a 100 mile ultramarathon last autumn)! Chris, Frank, Pete and Gonzalo all reached the summit. They descended to Basin Camp and flew off the glacier Saturday morning. Congratulations to the entire team - Frank, Lauren, Chris, Pete, Amar and Gonzalo for enduring the full Denali experience. 4 days and nights in High Camp is tough - well done!]]> http://jagged-globe.co.uk/news/report.php?id=1640 2026-06-07T16:04+01:00 Our pioneering Jagged Globe Shetland: Islands on the Edge team have just enjoyed six memorable days trekking and exploring the islands and stunning coastal cliffs of the UK's extreme north. From our comfortable base close to the capital of Lerwick (and an unlikely murder hot spot if fans of Detective Jimmy Perez and the popular 'Shetland' detective show are to be believed), our team achieved all of its goals on the hit list including walks around the high jutting headlands at both the top and...]]> http://jagged-globe.co.uk/news/item.php?id=3697 Tom 2026-06-04T09:36+01:00 The Denali team had a second rest day in high camp, whilst conditions improved with less wind and milder temps. They have plenty of food and spent their second day building more snow walls and playing cribbage!]]> http://jagged-globe.co.uk/news/item.php?id=3696 Tom 2026-06-02T17:54+01:00 UPDATE 2 June: The Denali team were able to move to High Camp on Sunday in better weather than expected. They had a rest day on Monday in windy weather and cold temperatures. With the forecast improving they hoped to make a summit bid on Tuesday. We wish them the best of luck and will post when we have more updates.]]> http://jagged-globe.co.uk/news/item.php?id=3694 Tom 2026-05-26T09:54+01:00 As of Sunday the team had made it up to camp 2 and cached at 4150m around Windy Corner. They were resting on Sunday with the hope of moving to Camp 3 (Basin Camp) yesterday. It sounds as though the weather has kept them on their toes. Whilst the forecast is for low winds over this next week, there is also a fair amount of precipitation expected. So, we expect they’ll be digging in at Basin Camp, doing a ‘back carry’ (getting their cache from 4150m) and seeing how things evolve.]]> http://jagged-globe.co.uk/news/item.php?id=3693 Tom 2026-05-22T14:30+01:00 There is now just 1 place left on June 2027 Mont Blanc Summit. We still have plenty of space in September 2027. All of our 2026 trips are FULL. Mont Blanc Summit climbs Western Europe's highest mountain at 4,807m via the Gouter Route (PD). This is the most assured way of reaching the summit and is in condition more consistently than any of the alternative routes. We provide a guiding ratio of 1:2 all week on our Mont Blanc Summit courses.]]> http://jagged-globe.co.uk/news/item.php?id=3692 Tom 2026-05-20T09:47+01:00 The Denali team were able to fly onto the glacier on Sunday (17 May), the same day that they drove up to Talkeetna from Anchorage.
