My name is Luca (28) and I am putting out a shout to make some big wall expedition partners. The expedition invite is open to all, though I had also hoped to find some people in particular.
As a little backstory: I have a medical history with benign cancer and I am really hoping there are some passionate climbers out there that have had any medical downsides. I have had a long term dream of going into the Ak-Su valley to climb for 3 weeks in the autumn (September) and would love to share it with other climbers. The classic would of course be the Perestroika crack (815m, trad 7b), as well as look for virgin rock routes.
I want to make a short film about the party members climbing together, talking about challenges from the past and present, how climbing and the lifestyle around it has positively impacted each of us and how life doesn't stop us from having adventurous memories in the mountains.
I have already talked to some that have been in the area, the total isn't atrocious, something like £4000-5000 for 5 party members. Perhaps less with adventure grants?
And as a little side note, the aim of the trip is to go with amazing people and show that passion can take you to the craziest of places. If would be ideal to find at least 3 people
As a little intro, I'm really easy going, climbed for 5 years and always there to psych someone up for their redpoints. Love all forms from trad, sport, boulder, ice, dry tooling and alpine. My sport projects are currently 7c/+. I've climbed in Scandinavia, Alps, NZ and the UK.
