9 April to 8 May, or 10 September to 9 October, 30 days in Tibet

1. This trip may seem inexpensive. The reason is: no one from our organization goes on the expedition. It is unaccompanied. It is a "Design-Your-Own-Climb" expedition. 

2. The prices quoted above do not include basecamp services and supplies, nor do they include any high-altitude services and supplies. These can be hired and purchased at a nominal additional cost.

3.  You must provide documentation that you have climbed to 5000 metres within the last three years.

4. You must provide us with the completed medical forms, signed by your doctor. Prior to joining our group, please see your doctor and obtain the necessary permission and advice, as well as medications for travel in extremes of altitude, and also for exotic locales. 

5. To participate in this climb you must be a very fit and active cold-weather climber and camper in good health. Obviously, Nojintangla is a relatively high and remote peak, and there are significant hazards present. Members must have knowledge of roped winter climbing techniques to protect for crevasse-falls, as well as use of fixed lines.  Above ABC, all members must be prepared to join a rope with another team member.

6. You must have an awareness of altitude sickness, frostbite, and the recognition of their symptoms, prevention, and treatment.   

7. You must join this expedition with a climbing partner, or hire a Nepalese Sherpa or one of our Tibetan Mountaineering Students to accompany you. If you do not know anyone who will climb together with you, please join our "secure climbing partner chat room" (coming soon).

8. We only welcome members who agree to the following: Above Advanced Basecamp, all members must be roped to another team member.  Neither solo climbing, nor descending, are allowed above Camp One.

9. Make sure you have physically trained yourself very thoroughly before joining this climb. 

10. You must show proof of travel and mountain rescue insurance, and you must provide an "emergency letter", showing the contact details of a person ready to wire funds on your behalf.
