I will be in India for the summer and monsoon season, looking to climb as much as I can. I have about 8-10 years of experience on rock and ice. I will be traveling with a fairly decent rock and ice rack, enough to cover technical objectives. The idea is to choose a few peaks that present technical challenges and that are below the painful altitude, entirely from a bureaucratic point of view, of 6000 meters. There are some valleys that are filled with spectacular and challenging peaks in the mid 5000 meter range - like Miyar. As of now, I am planning a two week trip to the Sikkim region, hoping to plan a climb on one of the few open peaks there - Frey or Tenchinkhang. If interested for this or any other plan you have in mind, do get in touch!

Hello! I'm going to be in the Indian Himalayas at the end of September (I'm very flexible on the region at the moment) and would love to do some climbing and hiking. I started climbing five years ago and I'm a certified indoor instructor. I don't have any experience with trad and multi-pitch, but I'd be thrilled to learn! I grew up by the Alps so hiking is a given. If you'd like to go on a trip together, I'd be very up for it. If not, I'd love to know where you've found some hiking and climbing communities.
All the best!
