This expedition covers two 8000m peaks in one expedition: Gasherbrum 1+2 in 45 days! We will be using the new EXPRESS ASCENT approach by HÖHENBERGSTEIGEN, the charity club. This trip is for good climbers and those who try to get into high altitude climbs. Technically, both peaks are not really difficult. However, keep in mind that the height will be one of the main difficulties on those mountains. Free spots available! Our program forsees our basic package to reach Basecamp. On both mountains, we offer full service such as High Altitude Porter HAP (= Pakistani Guide), UIAGM Mountain guides, high camp tents, fix ropes, high altitude food, supplemental oxygen and much more to match your needs for climbing Gasherbrum 1+2. Feel free to contact us and tell us what you exactly need; according to your needs, we will arrange the best price possible for a safe climb and descent. We will put together what you really need. Nothing more, nothing less. Important: This program forsees a pre-acclimatisation using hypoxic tents; clients from Europe can rely on us as we have hypoxic tents by our partner Gairrit.com. Clients from outside Europe, please contact us as we might be able to arrange it for you. We will fly to and back from basecamp, using a helicopter. If you prefer to walk to basecamp, we need to add 5 more days to your program. For walking back, we will also add 5 more days.
