When we sit on the deciding table, we ask ourselves one single question - Is the project extreme enough? Every such decision is arrived at on the basis of a "proprietary" data-driven index called the ABOL Index of Desirability, or ABOL ID in short. We are excited to announce our project pipeline for the upcoming 2025-26 season below. Click on the projects below to know how YOU can be a part of them!
Upcoming Projects
Project Bikepacking
Bikepacking has long been in the pipeline. And a "few" pilot projects and a lot of procrastination later, it is now more closer to reality than ever.
Mountaineering Expeds
Big boots, bigger dreams! Our mountaineering expeditions are where grit meets glaciers and ambition gets a little frostbite.
Project 8000 BC
Fancy name but simple explanation - we have an aim of reaching the base camps of all 8000ers. Manaslu BC is next on our agenda.
Project 8000 BC
Project 8000 BC is our borderline bonkers mission to trek to the Base Camps of all 14 of the world’s 8000er beasts! No summits, no glory-chasing—just a wild obsession with epic trails, thin air, and the stories hidden in the shadow of giants. Think of it as mountain flirting… with a bit of altitude.
MAY - JUN 2025
Manaslu Base Camp, Nepal.
Manaslu is the 8th highest mountain in the world.
TBD
Bikepacking to Annapurna B.C.
Bikepacking across Nepal to the base of the 10th highest mountain.
TBD
Dhaulagiri Base Camp, Nepal.
Journey to the base of the 7th highest mountain is the toughest.
TBD
Amphu Labsta Pass, Nepal
Journey to the Base Camp of the 5th highest mountain on Earth.
Project Bikepacking
We’re officially shifting gears—literally! After a few wild (and mildly sore) pilot runs around Melbourne, we’re in the process of rolling bikepacking into our adventure mix. It’s two bikes, one tent, and zero regrets as we pedal into the unknown. Saddle up, it's gonna be a ride!
JUN - OCT 2025
Pilot Phase 2.0, Melbourne.
Multi-day trips around Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
TBD
Bikepacking to Annapurna B.C.
Bikepacking across Nepal to the base of the 10th highest mountain.
TBD
Bikepacking Mt. Kosciuszko
Journey to the base of the 7th highest mountain is the toughest.
OCT - NOV 2025
Bikepacking Great Ocean Road
Perhaps the pinnacle of biking in VIC, this will mark the end of the pilot.
Mountaineering Expeds
Mountains are calling—and we’re picking up with ice axes and way too much trail mix. Our mountaineering expeditions are part epic quest, part comedy of errors, and 100% high-altitude adventure. We’re talking snowstorms, summit fever, and dance parties at base camp, and maybe a yak or two cheering us on.
TBD
Island Peak, Nepal.
We have seen this beauty from up close, and want to go all the way.
TBD
Mt. Nun & Mt. Kun, Zanskar.
Our planned gateway into the 7000s. Which one? We don't know.
TBD
Kang Yatse II & Dzo Dzongo, Ladakh.
We have never climbed in India, YET! And this will be a good entry point.
TBD
Ama Dablam, Nepal.
Our one last stepping stone before the BIG one. What a beauty!
