“Rock & Climb” Birthday - I had wanted to visit the Almaty mountains for quite some time, and then I received a tour there as a birthday gift. Katya was our guide. On the first day, we climbed some rocks with magnificent views of the Small Almaty Valley. We were complete novices, so Katya showed us the basics of rock climbing and belaying. The day went by quickly, and I didn’t even notice when it was time to go back to the camp and prepare for our mountain climb. The next day, we climbed a mountain. Katya suggested we aim for the summit named after Valery Khrishchaty. I had to climb a rocky ridge for the first time in my life, but seeing Katya do it so easily made me believe in myself. A competent guide really does bring you confidence! We made it to the summit! We were exhausted but so happy. Under Katya’s watchful eye, we quickly and safely descended to the warm huts of the alpine camp. It was an amazing birthday! Katya was an excellent guide for me, so when I returned to the alpine camp later as a student, I really wanted her to be my mountaineering instructor. I was lucky—for the next two weeks, she patiently taught our team how to climb mountains safely and efficiently.

A great Alpine climbing tour close to Almaty - Our trip with Katja was unforgettable! My boyfriend is quiet experienced with alpine climbing. I am less experienced. Katja found a great way to make the trip a good experience for the both of us. She organised evertything very well, from the food and tent till the different routes to the summit that were around there. She took us to a beautifull area with a lot of different options to climb. Katja is very good at teaching and explaining how thinks work, she keeps an eye on you and checked how you are doing during the trip. I am sometimes a little bit scared, so that worked very well for me. She gave me the trust I needed sometimes. Also for morge experienced people Katja wil be a very good climbing guide.

I had an excellent time... - I had an excellent time on this tour! Katya was an expert guide and new the mountain well. She also speaks English very well and there were no problems with communication. Katya gave me several options to pick from and helped me pick a good route for my prior experience. We decided to climb to the summit, but there were options to simply hike as well. The trip went smoothly and I had lots of fun. I'm very glad I was able to get into the mountains for this excursion!

Katya is an excellent mountain guide - Katya at Silk Road introduced me to mountaineering with a week-long course back in January 2024. Under her watchful eye I learned basic rope management for climbing proper pitches as well as moving together on difficult terrain. I had my first experience using crampons, received instruction and got practice using cams and other gear for climbing protection and to build belay stations. And best of all we climbed two peaks of nearly 4000m. For all of this I felt like I was in the hands of a real master in the mountains. More recently we did a version of the two-day trip that’s listed here on tripadvisor. We climbed a multi-pitch route on a vertical wall, and on the second day submitted two 4000m peaks with a traverse between them. It was an amazing day. The bottom line is that she knows her stuff in the mountains, she does a great job of reading the expertise, fitness, and fear level of her clients, and with all of this is able to arrange and manage a truly epic and memorable experience for you.
