Why Climb With Us

Why Climb in Mongolia with Alpine Ascents?

The trip was excellent! In addition to the excellent pre-trip communications from Alpine Ascents and the superb leadership of our guide, the in-country logistical support and guides were terrific.

Schedule Flexibility

Important to success and enjoyment for our climbers is the ability to adjust our climbing schedules as needed to account for ever-changing mountain conditions. Rather than throwing up our hands and ending an expedition when a route may become unclimbable, we treat these situations as challenges and, thanks to our experience and local expertise, we can change locations mid-expedition if necessary and offer alternate climbs and adventures. When such occasions have arisen, our climbers have regularly praised these adjustments as highlights of their expeditions.

Experience and Recent Success

We have been running successful expeditions in Mongolia since 2000 and look forward to a 20th year of operation. Our familiarity with the region, our expertise, and our knowledge of mountaineering around the world lend a depth and richness to every expedition that we feel is unrivaled in the guiding community.

I’ve always had a great experience on AAI outings. I just want to add that your entire team is A+++. Great client group too! This Mongolia expedition far exceeded my expectations.
