Needed experience

It is important to be in good cardiovascular shape. Mustagata is not a technically demanding mountain. Other than basic mountaineering experience and knowledge of roped team travel over glaciers, other necessary skills you will learn during the expedition. If you have any concerns about your experience talk to us.

See our training suggestions.

Those who join the expedition should have some experience at altitude, preferably having slept at over 16,000 feet (5,000 meters). Those who are skiing or snow boarding should feel comfortable on un-groomed trails at ski resorts and have ski touring/Randonnee experience on varying snow conditions from hard icy pack to deep powder. You do not need any prior snow shoeing experience to use snowshoes on Mustagata. Snow shoeing skills are easily learned on the spot.
