Altitude Junkies Gasherbrum II 2010 expedition (Commercial) ACTIVE
Altitude Junkies will be returning to Gasherbrum II in the summer of 2010 offering what is considered, one of the most cost-effective full-service expeditions on the mountain. Our Gasherbrum expedition is limited to eight climbers and one expedition leader with a 1:2 High Altitude Porter to climber ratio. Some of the other operators have as many as twenty climbers on one expedition and we feel a smaller team makes for a more intimate and satisfying experience for a climber on the Gasherbrums’. The single leader and guide offers the same expertise as a fully guided climb with a 4:1 climber to guide ratio but allows climbers more flexibility in smaller groups lower on the mountain. Leadership Gasherbrums’ veteran guide Phil Crampton will once again lead the 2010 expedition and this will be his third Gasherbrum II/I expedition. In addition to an experienced leader the team’s High Altitude Climbing Porters will once again include Ali Razi and his son Ashraf. These famous Balti climbers, who assisted our team fix ropes in 2009 will be working as part of our expedition this season and their knowledge and experience of the Gashebrums is unrivaled.
