I am interested in Cimbing one of the 7000 m + peaks in Central Asia like Lenin, Khan Tengri, Pobeda, preferably this coming summer and was therefore interested in joining a strong team or individuals with prior experience at this altitude. I would also be interested in similar high altitude trips to India, Nepal or even South America, but preferably those organized within the next few months. I have climbed numerous 6000 – 7000 m peaks in Indian Himalayas ( Garhwal, Himachal, Ladakh ), Aconcagua, Mt Mckinley and graduated in Basic and Advanced Mountaineering courses from NIM, India. Any information or directions to help me achieve my stated objective will be greatly appreciated.
