Patagonia style. The particular technique we are exhibiting here was developed by Constanza Toro del Solar for navigating the worst lenga forests of Patagonia to access the skiing in the high peaks above. It’s called the forward A-frame. It is patented, so if you use it you have to say “Thanks Coni” each time. What is lenga, it’s the equivalent of alders or sassa grass in other parts of Earth. #forwardaframe #ihaveneverseenthat 🎥: Peggy Hogg by @alpine__south

These visuals are of freeride athletes @hannahbergemann and @veroniquesandler. Filmed by the venerable @jeremy_grant_ . Annually we locally produce films for international film crews in the greater ranges of Earth. These visuals are from the Himalaya segment of the @tetongravity film Accomplice, an inspiring film about freeride mountain biking across the globe. @himalaya_alpine_guides encourages you to reach out for your film production needs, from site locations to full board logistics. Also, check out our new MTB, gravel and cycle touring programs after the new year. See you in the hills. 🫡#Himalayas #Pakistan #Nepal #India #MTB taken in India by @alpine__south

Edit your life ruthlessly. Bío Bío. Sierra Velluda is a stratovolcano in the Pacific Ring of Fire that stirs the mind no matter what direction you view it from. The Pacific Ring of Fire (Circum-Pacific Belt) is a 40,000-kilometer (25,000-mile) horseshoe-shaped tectonic zone stretching around the basin of the Pacific Ocean, with more than four hundred and fifty volcanoes. @alpine__south #Chile #biobio #cordilleradelosandes taken in Chile by @alpine__south

7000m. Aconcagua, Himlung, Putha Hiunchuli, Peak Lenin, Mustagh Ata and Spantik are our 2027 seven thousand meter objectives. We have fully supported climbers joining for guided climbs, alpinists joining for base camp support only, and also skiers joining.
•
Correct, Aconcagua is 40m lower than 7000m, yet is great prep for 8000m and is in the right season and location for many.
•
✅ - IFMGA guides
✅ - flash style for those keen for it (the lower-case concept of a “flash expedition” or “flash climb” has entered the general mountaineering lexicon to describe ultra-fast, rapid-ascent climbs utilizing home hypoxic pre-acclimatization). this means less time away from work and family.
✅ - who is the local agent that is organizing? we are now the local agent and the western organizer, which means we can provide the price that suits your budget
✅ - 1:1 sherpa:climber ratio (for those keen for this type of climb)
✅ - bc support only if desired
✅ - western leader
✅ - high quality logistics and service
✅ - dates flexible (climbers can arrive when they prefer)
✅ - decades of experience at 7000 meters. contact us to chat about your goals.
✅ - reasonably costed
