The majestic pyramidal shape of the peak rises above the Central Tien-Shan, on the border of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Its steep slopes, icefalls and avalanche-prone couloirs make the ascent a truly exciting challenge.

The program is designed for participants with experience of climbing at altitudes of 5000 m and above.

You will get:

a unique experience of conquering the iconic peak of the world
an international team of climbers
accompaniment of experienced guides who know the route down to the smallest detail
support of comfortable base camps in Engilchek and Karkyra
stunning views of the Tien-Shan mountain ranges and majestic glaciers
