Why climb in Central Asia

Central Asia gives you big mountain terrain without turning the trip into a full expedition: granite walls, frozen waterfalls, alpine valleys, glaciers and high peaks.

For UAE-based climbers and active travelers, it works well for short climbing trips — from a few days on real rock to ice climbing, alpine routes or technical mountain training.
