adventure to the less seasoned climbing enthusiast.
The peaks are all les than 6500m. and involved
moderate technical challenges in rocky, icy, snowy
or glacier terrains. The use of rope and other
mountaineering equipments is necessary and it is
strongly recommended that the climbers have
experience with snow, ice and glacier traversing.
These peaks are significantly less costly than large

permission for peak climbing through the NMA of
which AATE is an active member. AATE can provide all
the necessary mountaineering/ climbing equipment,
