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 team and great guides, Sam and Lakpa are very professional. Great team.
