Everest Expedition

Mount Everest is still the ultimate mountaineering adventure. As the highest mountain in the world, Everest has immense appeal to mountaineers and fascination for non-climbers. But it's tremendous allure is also due to its position in Nepal's Khumbu, one of the world's most beautiful mountain regions, and because of its remarkable climbing history. An attempt of Mt Everest is a major undertaking which requires significant climbing experience, solid alpine skills, good mountain judgment, excellent physical condition, and a huge amount of dedication and determination. If you see Everest as a definite or possible climbing goal for yourself, we can help you through all the stages of your preparation, from technical skills development to training in cold weather survival skills and the gaining of climbing experience at high altitude. We climb Everest via the South Col route in the spring season because this route and timing offer the absolute best chance of success. Routes from the north are technically more difficult, especially at higher altitudes, and in the spring climbing season, we gain the dual advantages of getting progressively milder weather as we move closer to the summit and of climbing more stable slopes because the winter winds have scoured away much of the snow, significantly reducing the avalanche hazard.
