Adventure and high mountains

Right now I am enjoying the Danish “summer” and struggling to get back in super shape ... over the next many months would I be staying in Nepal. From the start of October to early January, I will guide two groups around Khumbu Valley - Everest Base Camp trek and show them some of my favorite places! One of the groups is a extended edition of the BC trek. We will do a crossing of the three 5000 m mountain pass: Kongma La (5,534 m), Cho La (5,345 m) and Renjo La (5,415 m) and climb some of the small trekking peaks.

Between the two departures / jobs, I have about a month to my own adventures. The plan is to go to Ama Dablam (6856m) and make a “quick” alpine ascent. The acclimatization will I get through the BC trek and maybe a few small ascents along the way. The plan is then to move myself and my gear further into the mountains. I have a strong wish to go to some more isolated area and try to make a climb there. More about that later;)

Few days after my return from Nepal, I proceed to Argentina where I once again will guide on Aconcagua (6962m). This time I have two ascents - the first where I only guide one client and shortly after a group of around 12 to 14 clients. It is really going to be hard, since the first ascent only have a timeframe of 14 days (Denmark - Argentina - Denmark) well ... I'm ready and I will do everything possible to make this little project successful.

Next fall (2012) it will be something completely new. I will guide the "Seven Summits" mountain Carstensz Pyramid on the island of Papua in Indonesia. It will truly be an adventure and I look forward to visit this amazing place and culture.
