Objective: 3000

Objective: 3000 is Alpine Guides' course for climbing a significant 3,000 metre peak. With your guide's close tuition and expert local knowledge, you can achieve your 3,000 metre ambition.

A focused course with one significant goal

The Objective:3000 framework is a 7 or 8 day package - depending on the objective peak. The package suits individuals or small teams.

Because the goal is climbing one significant peak you may not cover the range of mountaineering skills that a broad-based course (like the TMC) offers.

Objective: 3000 suits climbers that:

  • Are not necessarily planning further mountaineering
  • Need to refresh skills - plus get the bonus of bagging a major peak

The 7 or 8 day package gives time to:

  • Access and egress your venue on foot, or by air
  • Train and make a summit attempt
  • Work around changing weather and snow conditions
