Frequently Asked Questions

Key details regarding preparation, logistics, safety, and bookings

For 6,000m peaks (Island Peak, Mera Peak), basic crampon and ice axe familiarity or completing our pre-summit clinic is sufficient. For Ama Dablam and Everest, prior high-altitude ascents (6,000m+) and fixed-rope technical proficiency are mandatory.

We provide a strict 1:1 ratio with multi-summit certified IFMGA Sherpa leaders. Your dedicated Sherpa carries backup supplemental oxygen and manages rope fixing.

We utilize TopOut / Summit Oxygen mask systems with Russian Poisk cylinders, tested pulse oximeters, and high-altitude hyperbaric Gamow bags at basecamp.

Summited Ama Dablam with Mingma Sherpa. Flawless rope work, heated basecamp dome tents, and gourmet chef nutrition made the hardest climb of my life safe and successful.

The Island Peak ascent was breathtaking. The 1:1 Sherpa support gave me total confidence on the headwall and summit ridge.
