kanTengri - Expeditions

Karly Tau Peak is located in the Central Tian Shan Mountains in the immediate proximity of Khan Tengri Peak.

The ascent on this mountain becomes very popular, and more and more mountain tourists and beginning climbers aspire to visit the area of peak Khan Tengri and to make a simple ascension on top above 5000 metres above sea level. The top of Karly Tau is ideally suited for these purposes.

Specially for such fans of mountains we have developed the program «Ascent to Karly Tau Peak in the Joint Team». In the summer mountain season of 2011 this program has started to work successfully and was very attractive for beginning climbers and mountain tourists from Kazakhstan (of Almaty, Astana, Karaganda cities), Russia and UK.

During the period from July, 18th till August, 10th, 2011 32 persons have taken part in an ascension. From them on top 26 persons under the direction of our skilled guides – climbers have risen. In opinion of those climbers «the top of Karly Tau allows to rise to any almost healthy person having elementary skills of using by climbing equipment. Gide’s support provides safety of an ascension and psychological support».

Karly Tau Peak is the only mount in the Central Tian Shan, suitable for those climbers who wish to climb the first peak over 5000m.. The ascension route is extremely simple - a flat glacier to camp 1 (4250ì), gentle slope leades to camp 2 (4800 m.), a flat snow plateau to the pass, from which on a snow crest the steepness of 35 degrees reaches top.

The group will be lead by an experienced professional guide, assistants will be provided for each of 4 climbers; the group will be equipped with 4&2-persons high-altitude tents, ropes, gas stoves &cylinders, sets of cooking accessories; high-altitude food will be purchased in advance (the list of food will be sent to each participant beforehand in order to make individual updating). The only thing that climbers will have to do is to bring their own personal equipment and to concentrate on ascent.

On the date specified all participants will gather in Karkara Base Camp, discuss the plan of ascent; our guide will give the final instructional advice and check the personal equipment. The group will make the acclimatization ascent and fly on a helicopter to “North Inylchek” Base Camp.
