Description

The Tian Shan mountain range stretches far and wide, and has many amazing peaks. One of those peaks is the incredible Khan Tengri mountain (7,010m) in Kyrgyzstan. And over the course of 21 days, I would like to guide you to that majestic mountain’s summit.

Climbing to the summit of Khan Tengri is not an easy task. The journey is full of unpredictable obstacles and challenges, from bad weather to snow conditions. However, the summit of this great peak is nothing short of spectacular. Moreover, the views you will get, not just from the summit, but from the various camps you will visit during the ascent and descent, are magnificent.

Due to the arduous nature of the climb, it is important that participants on this trip are in excellent physical condition. Participants should also have previous mountaineering experience as well.

As a way to mitigate the challenging climb, you will get plenty of time to properly acclimatize. There will also be days dedicated to rest, as well as preparation. Hence ensuring that you will be sufficiently ready for the final ascent to the Khan Tengri summit.

The accommodations throughout the 21 days of this trip will be comfortable. They include hotels in Bishkek and Kankara, as well as the camps throughout the climbing expedition. So you can rest assured you will get plenty of much needed rest. There will also be a hot shower and sauna at the mountain’s base camp that you can use.

Are you looking for a challenging, but satisfying climbing adventure to the summit of one of the world’s most beautiful mountains? If you are then send me a request and join me on this 21 day journey to the top of Khan Tengri.

I can also lead you to the summit of another great mountain, Mount Elbrus in the Caucasus of Russia, on this amazing 8 day trip.

Mountain Guide

Mountains and work in the mountains are major part of my life. I am an IFMGA mountain guide as well as a member of the Kyrgyzstan Mountain Guides Association (KMGA). I started my career in 2006 and it was a logical extension of my mountaineering activities. I organize ascents, ski-touring and free ride programs for my clients in the Caucasus
(including Krasnaya Polyana), Pamir, Tien-Shan, Siberia, Ural, Kola Peninsula. I have climbing experience in the Alps, Alaska and the Chinese Pamirs.

I am a certified mountain rescuer. My priorities are the client's safety along with the success of the ascent.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
