| TIEN-SHAN | SCHEDULE OF THE EXPEDITION | THE PRICE |

Where China borders on Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan and Tadjikistan the Tien-Shan mountains are lying. Khan-Tengri is one of the

most beautiful summits of the Tien-Shan mountain country and of the World. Once you take a look at it you will never forget it. Its regular shape and considerable prominence allow you to recognize it from remote points. It rises up to 7010m above sea level and has a black rock face on the North side, a silver ice slope on the East and a pinkish marble face on the South. There is the easiest access to the summit along the West ridges, where a normal route goes to the top but it is not a very simple one. On some hard plots there are fix-ropes. It takes 4 nights for an average team to reach the top.

At the foot of Khan-Tengri two glaciers -- the North and the South Inylchek- glide over a length of about 70 km. Base Camp is situated on the South Inylchek, about two hours to walk from Khan foot, at an altitude of 4000m. The place is a rock, ice and snow kingdom, and only at the end of July is it possible to find a score of tiny yellow flowers on the southern slopes.

A climate of the area is rigorous enough and very changeable. The usual time to visit the place is from the July 15 until the August 20, because it is the summer time of the most stable weather. The meteorological statistic shows, that the months of September and October are the ones of the most stable weather all over the year, but the temperature is lower. We climbed on the months there with very good climate conditions and an excellent snow state. Besides the time there is no big crowd at Base Camp and on the way. You have to understand an importance to have your mountaineering background, fitness and equipment suitable to rather severe condition of the region.
