I am planning a trip with a small team to try some un climbed peaks in the south Inchek glacier region of kyrgyzstan. We are contacting companies about gear sponsoring and applying for grants such as the everest foundations. We have contacted gear companies and local shops, does anyone have any advice about other places to look for gear sponsoring? We are also applying for all the grants we can find but I wondered whether anyone has experience of applying to big companies and if that could work? thanks for any info
