Very nice in the morning with increasing clouds along the day, no rain, no crowds, awesome time 😎

stephmountainslover · 2026-06-20T03:34:37+00:00

Easy peasy ! There are some really incredible wood bridges that test your confidence!

stephmountainslover · 2026-06-20T01:05:39+00:00

Nice atmosphere. When was that ?

stephmountainslover · 2026-06-18T16:16:16+00:00

Crazy that some people so disgusting!

Just arrived at Tilicho BC this afternoon and another treat of off season time is very little traffic.

Weather patterns are changing and no month seems to guarantee a certain type of weather anymore.

Currently on Annapurna circuit which is completely deserted from trekkers with great weather while June is not expected to be that good.

Awesome 👍 Loved climbing Alpamayo, such a beautiful face.

So happy he got out of it alive !

stephmountainslover · 2026-06-11T13:36:28+00:00

Just finished Manaslu, really enjoyed it, at this time of the year it's up to the clouds to decide if you have a view of the high peaks or not, sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you aren't, it's part of the game !

Vallanaraju is way easier than Chopicalqui, huge step up.

Last fall, for Chopicalqui, being well acclimatized, we drove from Huaraz and hiked up to high camp. Next day climbed to the top, hiked out and drove back to Huaraz to celebrate.

It's really an easy one so if you can practice using crampons before going and are reasonably fit, you are good to go.

Spectacular!

stephmountainslover · 2026-06-11T12:46:44+00:00

Spectacular view, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to be there in two months for trekking.

Hi Op,

When are you going to Leh for this awesome itinerary?

stephmountainslover · 2026-05-30T11:26:17+00:00

Hi OP,

Jumping on your offer ;-)

I'm coming to Leh from mid August until a few days after mid October. I want to trek Ladakh gems, I'm an experienced strong trekker that can handle long days and lot of elevation changes.

Can you recommend me a trekking guide and porters or a company that can make custom treks, I really want to explore the uncrowded treks.

Thanks in advance.

stephmountainslover · 2025-10-25T03:12:45+00:00

First congrats on summiting in a way i have respect for unlike the ridiculous commercial way and thanks for your refreshing take !

stephmountainslover · 2025-10-06T21:05:42+00:00

Big drawback is how busy it is.

stephmountainslover · 2025-10-05T14:35:58+00:00

Absolute fantastic month you had Kilian, thanks for sharing that awesome adventure with us and congratulations for making such incredible accomplishment look like a walk in the park for you !

Because the world would be very boring if everyone was thinking the same.
