    Megan

    Asked on December 26th, 2025

    what dates do you have in January for joining group tour? And can I rent equipment for climb (boots, clothes etc) and what's the price? And why are your prices so much cheaper than others?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • African Polecat SafarisOperatorWritten December 2025

      January Dates: Currently, we do not have any open group joinings for January. Our groups fill quickly as we maintain an intimate atmosphere for our climbers. However, if you have specific dates in mind, we can discuss a Private Conquest tailored specifically to your pace. Equipment Rental: You do not need to carry the mountain on your back. We provide high-quality, professional gear for rent. You can expect to pay approximately $60 – $120 total for a full kit (including thermal layers, boots, and a professional sleeping bag). Our Pricing: You may notice our rates are more refined than others. This is not because we compromise on quality, but because we are experts in Group Synergy. By joining travelers together, we share the operational costs of the support team and transport. We pass these efficiencies directly to you, ensuring you receive a high-status experience without the unnecessary markup of middleman agencies.

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      Was this a mistake then? I am interested in booking at the price it is 1 week earlier for $1464/pp for 2 people

    • African Polecat SafarisOperatorWritten November 2025

      We are unable to honour the mistakenly listed price of $1464/pp. The updated rate reflects the correct value and standards for this exclusive, luxury experience.
