Speaking from Experience
Our Mera and Lobuche packing video is designed to show you what gear Ian would bring with him when he is packing for Mera and Lobuche Peaks. This gear will vary on the month you are climbing. If you can climbing in March, November or December you will need warmer gear, boots, down jacket, sleeping bag and clothing. Watch our video above and then CONTACT US to further discuss.
Why We Moved Away from Climbing Island Peak
It is sad to say, but 2024 will be our last year running Island Peak trips on the current route. We have moved all our Mera and Island Peaks trips to Mera and Lobuche Peaks trips. The headwall on Island Peak has become too dangerous for climbing and so we have decided to move all our Island Peak trips to Lobuche Peak. We may revisit this if a new route can be established in the coming years.
Packing for Mera and Lobuche Peaks
There is no one size fits all when it comes to gear. You need to know how you fair in cold weather conditions. Some people are naturally warmer than others. We can help you individually prepare for this Himalayan adventure. Getting out testing your gear in the outdoors is absolutely vital before heading on a Himalayan climbing adventure. You should also have previous altitude and mountain experience before considering climbing Island or Mera peaks.
