It's fantastic to hear that our group led by previous KE Leader of the Year, mountaineer and author, Tom Richardson has reached the summit of 'arguably' one of the most remote mountains in the world - Mount Khuiten in Mongolia. A fantastic 10 out of the 11 climbers summitted Khuiten and all the group summitted Malchin and Nairandal. Tom has now climbed Khuiten 8 times. He say's " It's beautiful, I love the country and the people, especially in the far west. This is a fantastic adventure amongst some great mountains. Don't let other KE leaders know though! It's mine..."

The climb takes you through wild heart of Mongolia's Altai Tavan Bogd (Five Holy Peaks) and lies on the border with both Russia and China. More than just a superb climbing expedition, this is also a fascinating travel experience in a rarely-visited corner of the world.
