Background

To climb Everest, the world’s highest mountain at 8848m is the ultimate objective in many climbers' minds, a most compelling and challenging adventure. Our experience is amongst the best in the world, with a client success rate unequalled by any other British company. Join Adventure Peaks in 2010 on their tenth Mt Everest Expedition.

We specialize in preparing clients to tackle their challenge with confidence. We ensure you have the appropriate skills, physical endurance and mental preparation. On the mountain we provide the very best leadership, equipment, oxygen systems, comfort, food and Sherpa support to maximize your chance of success.

Our guiding staff add a tangible degree of safety, expertise and guidance - the support they provide will make the difference between a difficult trip and a safe and enjoyable one. The success of an expedition is often determined by factors planned well in advance of the actual climbing; the many years we have been fine tuning the operational ‘blue print’ has led to a considerable increase in the proportion of our expedition members reaching the summit.

An attempt on Mt Everest is an enormous undertaking which requires a huge amount of dedication and determination: we are here to help you. Please contact us for a copy of our detailed information sheet or to talk through your dream.

We supply the very best in equipment, supplies and support:
• Top Out Mask
• 1:1 Sherpa support
• Quality Food
• Weather reports
• Comfortable and well equipped base camp to maintain your well being in these harsh conditions

Base Camp will be established below the Khumbu Ice fall at around 5350m. This is where the group leaves the trekkers behind and make their initial preparations for progressing through the Khumbu Icefall. When the Icefall is fixed the team will load carry up to Camp 1. The load carrying will mostly be done by our extremely strong sherpa staff, however, it is expected that the team members will assist by carrying some of there own personal kit.

Camp 1 (5900m) Situated above the Khumbu Icefall.

Camp 2 (6400m) Near to the top of The Western Cwm (ABC).

Camp 3 (7300m) On the Lhotse Face.

Camp 4 (7950m) Established on the infamous South Col. The launching platform for the final summit push will be made from here.

Level of support
We have established a good infra structure and employ a regular and strong team of Sherpa staff who know the mountain well and are very loyal to us. They are supported by an equally good team of cooks who have been well provided for in terms of facilities and training to maintain high levels of hygiene and care. Finally our BC facilities are very comfortable allowing you to relax and build up strength whilst not high on the mountain. Climber to Sherpa ratio 1:1.
