I have undergone Basic Mountaineering Course from NIM India and now want to start my Seven Summits climbs with Mt Kosciuszko solo climb in first week of June 2016.
ReplyDeleteCan you please tell me about your total cost, time taken in whole trip and which route you have taken as a seven summit aspirant climber.
I can definately arrange the money needed but i need some information from you as you are experienced and qualified mountaineer.
I have booked plane tickets as well as travel to the Kosciuszko National Park .My visa procedures are also completed .
As this is my first climb outside India ,so please bless me by helping me.
Looking forward for a quick response.
Yours sincerely
