He is a very experienced climber and a real nice guy. If only the mountains were full of more people like Tunc! Look for him on Lhotse soon.

Previous Update: Tunc is off to guide Elbrus in caucasia and climbing Mt. Ushba (an ice peak in the central caucasus) between 13-26 august. Then he will be off to Dan Mazur's Cho Oyu expedition between 5th September- 10th October. Tunc, summited Everest in 2001 and is truly one of the nice guys out there climbing...

Tunc Findik joined Gary Guller's Everest Expedition 2001 "Anything is Possible" Expedition. 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 Findik is a highly experienced ice, rock and mixed climber. He has opened more than 60 new routes in the Turkish ranges, these being first overall ascents, first winter ascents and first Turkish ascents. 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.
