Joining such Everest Summiters as Mike Trueman and Kipa Sherpa this expedition was a strong and very experienced expedition on Nepal side of the mountain in Spring 2001.

Tunc reached the Summit of Everest in Spring of 2001 as a member of Gary Guller's Everest Expedition 2001 "Anything is Possible" Expedition. He joined us for the 2001 Ararat Peace climb. The climbers, all who have reached the Summit of Everest, climbed the North Side of Ararat which in modern history (the last 1000 years !) has not been open to foreign climbers except on very rare cases.

Tunk has successful summits of Khon Tengri (7,010m) in Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan; Peak Lenin (7,134m) in the Pamirs, Kyrgyzstan; Elbrus (5,642m, twice) and Kazbedk (5,047m) in the Russian Caucasus Mountains; a winter ascent of Damavand Peak (5,671m) in Iran; a winter ascent of Mr. Ararat (5,137m) in Turkey; Mont Blanc and Ecrins Massifs in the European Alps; and various climbs in Scotland and Bulgaria.
