Spirit of Singapore Expedition
KB Access Pte Ltd a Subsidiary Company of KB Associates Pte Ltd has joined the Spirit of Singapore Expedition as the Main Expedition Sponsor.
At KB Associates Pte Ltd social responsibility means taking into account the communities in which the Group operates, and also involves relations with their employees. We are therefore pleased we are able to sponsor this exciting adventure with the expedition team whom Mohd Rozani as the KB Access Senior Rope Access Technician trainer is a member of.
In pursuit of new frontiers this expedition exhibits the spirit of KB Associates and KB Access by seeking new challenges and striving to the highest level of Professionalism and Safety. We are proud to be a sponsor to this expedition.
The “Spirit of Singapore Expedition 2009”, intends to climb several virgin peaks in the Tien Shan mountain range in Central Asia. Stretching across large tracts of China (Xinjiang), Kazakstan and Kyrgyzstan, the Tien Shan range contains one of the highest concentrations of unclimbed peaks in the world. The expedition will focus on peaks in the Sary Dhaz range, a quiet, rarely frequented area, and far from the popular 7000m peaks in the area.
The 2009, the Expedition will not only attempt more virgin peaks than the 2005 exhibition, but will also attempt the first ascent of an unnamed peak, thought to be 5000-6000m in height, which has been dubbed “The Razor” on a prior aerial reconnaissance. This would be highest unclimbed peak attempted by a Singapore team.
Climbing virgin peaks represents some of the boldest and imaginative mountaineering available in the world. It takes the climber into a realm of uncertainty and risk.
KBA and all our staff wish them every success with their ascent of new peaks and a safe return to Singapore in August.
