Questions about this trip
This is graded extreme. It is a full mountaineering objective — we ask about your climbing history and previous altitude experience before confirming a place. If you tell us your recent hill days we will give you an honest answer.
The reliable window is June – September. Outside that, conditions on the route make it either unsafe or not worth the money. We can run private departures on any dates inside that window.
2 – 8 climbers. Smaller and private groups are available and often cost less per head than you would expect — ask us for a quote on your own dates.
Because the honest number depends on group size, dates, hotel standard and how much of the route you cover. We quote one all-in figure for your actual group rather than a headline price that grows later.
