Stamina - Endurance
A mountain athlete needs endurance above any other specific fitness skill. Cardiovascular fitness is of course always subject to the movement (as climbing rocks or steep ice, you will not be able to transfer your triathlete or running fitness to mountains without being solid in the required mountaineering skills).
Gratulation an unser Lokalteam Nawang, Pemba und Dilif und Teilnehmer Lukas für die geglückte Besteigung des Mera Peak, 6500m, Nepal.

Flug ab DE/AT/EU kann auf Wunsch gegen Aufpreis organisiert werden. Treffpunkt zum Start der Expedition: Islamabad.
Base price includes:
Full service additionally includes:
Professional climbers (mostly with sponsorship) can of course provide their own high camp and climbing material. The suitability of this will be discussed as part of the preparation.
*Support does not apply to camp transport: each participant must carry shares of the group equipment. Participating top mountaineers are responsible for leading critical parts and strengthen our overall team.
Not included:
All participants should arrive pre-acclimatized (altitude 4000m - 6000m acclimatization for at least 10 days in the 2-3 weeks prior to the start of the expedition).
For the journey to Nanga Parbat (Rupal side) is a possible itinerary:
The next step would be an exploration with material transport to the lower part of the wall.
We plan the wall ascent and summit walk semi-alpine with the previously created depots. In the upper part of the wall we will climb alpine in rope teams and do not plan to attach fixed ropes.
Day 1 - ascent to Camp I/II - ascent to the previous depot in the wall
Day 2 - Ascent to Camp III (bivouac) - We will probably need two more camps to reach the summit of Nanga Parbat.
Day 3 - Ascent Camp IV (bivouac) - Ascent to bivouac
Day 4 - Nanga Parbat Summit - Ideally we will reach the summit on the 4th day of the summit walk! - Descent to Camp III/IV
Day 5 - Back to Base - descent to the base camp
Day 6 - Back to Base - reserve day: in total, we plan with max. 6 days of food and 8 days of gas for the summit walk.
Requirements: You need to be a team player and an experienced high-altitude climber with an excellent climbing background. Ideally, you have already climbed 8000m+ and can handle the altitude well. Excellent alpine skills and experience from climbing 7000m+ altitude independently must be brought along.
Technical Requirements: Independent climbing of alpine tours, min. TD according to the French scale. Safe climbing up to at least 80° in ice and UIAA 5+ / M5 in alpine rock. Excellent belaying skills. Rope-free climbing up to 60° in ice and in combined terrain (M3 / UIAA 3 in rock) will be needed. You need to be experienced in the organization of bivouacs and high camp setups in winter conditions.
Physical requirements: You should have the fitness for 800 to 1200 meters* of ascent (at 7000m-8000m, at an alpine level this certainly means around 3000 Hm+) and endurance for several days of difficult mountaineering, with daily ascents of 12-18 hours. Your assistance in setting up camp** (backpack - about 16-20 kg*) requires physical robustness.
Danger notice: You participate in this expedition independently and at your own risk. The extreme altitude and the great cold inevitably bring dangers. Because of the high altitude, rescue possibilities are extremely limited.
