Eight short questions about experience, endurance and timing. We will match programs from our catalogue and tell you honestly if you should start with training rather than a mountain.
It follows your answers and the same rules we use when talking to beginners: altitude experience, endurance, willingness to use technical gear, dates and budget. A good starting point, but not a replacement for talking to a guide — we will still check the details before booking.
Yes. A first summit needs no certificates or rock skills — it needs a non-technical route, sound acclimatisation and a guide who handles everything technical. The rest comes down to endurance and attitude.
That is two or three months of regular training away. We have a training guide and an online program with a coach and a doctor to get you in shape by your departure date.
Age itself is not a barrier: our groups have included people aged 18 and 60. The barrier is untreated heart or blood-pressure problems, so see a doctor before your first time at altitude.

Review on Yandex Maps →Hi everyone! Many thanks to Ilya for organising a wonderful climb! It was hard, but it became possible thanks to the shared effort and teamwork. The weather was not kind, but nobody had promised us a party and a stroll over the hills. The most important thing is that we got what we came for. Thanks to everyone in the group!
Hi everyone! I want to share how good these guys are — you are awesome and you know your job.
I joined a group back in 2023 and I still remember those summit days as if they were yesterday. Do you know why? Because we even became friends and are still in touch! For me this team has become part of my sporting family. I also want to thank Ilya Sidelnikov for his help both in preparing for the summit push and on the climb itself — I made it thanks to him. The next peak is Lenin Peak, and I will definitely take that step with him. Thank you for being so responsive, I'm with you!
And to you, friends — I recommend them. Try it once and it turns into many, many times. Good luck to everyone, and new summits!
We have been travelling with this company with friends for a long time! The organisation is excellent. I recommend Ilya to everyone as an experienced guide and organiser.
