The climbing staff
The climbing staff are not able to carry your personal belongings and may not be able to climb with you all the time. If you would like someone to do this for you, we can arrange a personal climbing “Sherpa.” A personal “Sherpa,” unlike our team’s general climbing staff, is dedicated to you and only you.
Our climbing staff is lead by Asu. Asu has climbed Mustagata with us three times. He is very affable, helpful, a strong climber, and speaks English. Asu started climbing while attending Xia'men University in southeast China, where he got his undergraduate education in Economics. After college he worked as a guide for three years at the Arête Alpine Instruction Center (AAIC), one of China’s premier climbing schools located in Sichuan Province. At AAIC he received solid training in all aspects of alpine climbing and gained much of his high altitude experience climbing throughout Tibet. We are very excited to have Asu as part of our team. |
Our talented and experienced climbing staff are Tibetan, Chinese, and Pakistani. Their job is to carry group equipment up the mountain, set-up the camps, put-in the route, watch over the members’ safety, and climb with the members to the summit. This is all included in your expedition cost.
