Upcoming Trips
Lobuche East Peak has taken over from Island Peak as your fixed line climbing peak in the Everest Region. Island Peak, once a favorite, has become increasingly risky, and we’ve shifted our focus to Lobuche East as our primary 6,000m peak in Nepal’s Everest Region.
After 15 years of guiding successful Lobuche East expeditions, we’ve crafted a unique itinerary that maximizes your safety and summit success. In 2019 we won the International Tourism Award in Nepal for running trips with more acclimatization and support. This offers you better safety and success. Check out our Lobuche Peak page.
Safety First
Recent changes have escalated the dangers on Island Peak, particularly with rockfall hazards on the head wall. Additionally, the skill level of climbers attempting Island Peak has declined, raising concerns. For these reasons, we have moved all our fixed line climbing trips to Lobuche East Peak.
Offering Lobuche Peak climbs on our unique itinerary put you first and offers the best safety and success on this challenging peak climb in the Everest Region. Check out our TOP TIPS.
