Here's a check-list of things you need to have if you're climbing with me:
· A positive high-altitude attitude
· Yearning to explore yourself further
· Awareness of and willingness to conform to the principles of ethical, responsible travel
· A desire to be a good outdoorsperson
· An urge for real adventures

Zero climbing experience?
I don't expect you to be Spiderman on a mountain face. Most of my trips are classified as "moderately challenging" - meaning there is no experience required for hiking or climbing. However, I can custom-make challenging and hardcore hikes and climbs. I never push you beyond your ability (well, maybe just a wee bit). Bottomline: A positive high-altitude attitude is recommended, because my trips can be physically challenging, and occasionally strenuous, due to trail conditions and weather changes.

Souvenir hoarder?
Leave natural and historical artefacts where they belong, don't carry back the Himalayas to the plains. I encourage you to take only pictures, leave only the lightest of footprints and bring home only wonderful memories.
