Description:

There are also abundant vestiges of ancient civilizations that thrived here centuries ago. This 15 day expedition is suited for experienced high altitude mountaineers in good physical condition. This expedition evolves a very remote setting with no external support. Climbers must carry their own loads in addition to their share of group gear in a pure expedition style.
