For those who want to climb on different dates or routes than our group departures, we offer private climbs. Private climbs are also for those who would like to keep the group size small to have a more intimate experience on the mountain. Climbers with children or special needs are required to book private climbs for increased individual attention from our guides.
We can organize private climbs on any route, for any length, on any dates, for any size group, subject to staff availability. We fill to capacity many months ahead of time during the high season, so reserve your dates as soon as possible.
During the low season (April, May and November), there is a high probability of rainy conditions. Therefore, only experienced backpackers should consider climbing in these months. Additionally, rains prevent vehicle access to the trailheads for Shira, Lemosho and Northern Circuit at this time.
