Why Climb Peak Lenin with Alpine Ascents?
Experience
While some outfitters take inexperienced climbers up the glaciated Peak Lenin, we expect our climbers to have prior crampon and self-arrest experience. In turn, we treat this as a serious mountain climb giving respect to the climb as well as the goal of summiting. Alpine Ascents guides are revered as outstanding mountaineers, instructors, and cultural enthusiasts.
We are thrilled to have legendary guide Don Wargowsky leading this expedition. Don has led numerous successful expeditions across Asia, for both climbers and canines alike.
Some of the keys to our continued success
Alpine Ascents offers the most comprehensive program available, using a distinguished team of climbing and camp support, four-season tents, and a diverse assortment of quality meals. Please note, though, that camps on the mountain and food are very simple as compared to other parts of the world. We will spend our nights before the climb at a well established base camp, and we will use tents along the climbing route.
All our treks will have a Cybercast (blog) page on the Alpine Ascents website, with either audio or text updates every few days, often with photos. Family, friends, and the public can follow the team as they climb Peak Lenin.
Vern did an outstanding job with our team. I learned a tremendous amount regarding mountaineering. It was one take away after another. Far and away it was my favorite group and a truly memorable climb. I would recommend it to all!
