Private Climbs

Our Expertise at Your Convenience

While we celebrate our famed expeditions worldwide, certain situations are perfect for a privately guided trip.

Over the past 25 years, Alpine Ascents has arranged private climbs and journeys to nearly every corner of the globe. Private trips are a great way to make your trip as customized as possible and limit team size to a pre-organized group. In most cases we can add porters, acclimatization days, and summit days, or provide for partners who would like to join a trip without climbing.

If you would like information on the above please contact Gordon Janow to help you plan your next travel experience.

We had a great climb and were blessed with some really good weather. The food and planning worked out well along the way. All the camps were set up with gear which minimised the need to carry a lot of extra stuff – a real strength for AAI.
