Trip Overview
The ultimate dream of many mountaineers is to one day take on one of the biggest mountaineering challenges possible – to climb Mt Everest – so why not climb it with one of the premier teams in the industry, Expedition Base.
Turning the dream into reality requires a lot of hard work. Expedition Base will accept clients who have the requisite skills and level of experience to attempt to climb this honourable mountain. Start planning early. Prepare early and partner with us so that we can help you get into a position where you have the best chance of success and to ensure that your investment is well made. This mountain deserves your best effort and, with that, you put yourself in the best position to succeed.
The aim of Expedition Base’s Mt Everest expedition is to provide the necessary framework for expedition members to have a safe, enjoyable trip, with a sound strategy for reaching the summit, and getting down safely. The key components of this framework include:
- Strong leadership
- Sound strategy
- Premium weather forecasting
- Experienced, strong, caring and professionally trained team of climbing guides on the mountain, all with previous Mt Everest experience/summits and many with experience and much success on many other 8,000m peaks
- Creating a small, cohesive team of climbers and climbing guides
- Strictly vetting the calibre of expedition members
- Providing a premier base camp and climbing experience
- Giving you the best chance of staying strong and healthy for the duration of the expedition
- Strong support for you to succeed
With Expedition Base you will tackle Mt Everest via the South Col and South East ridge route, the same route taken for the first successful summit of Mt Everest in 1953.
You will pass through and across such infamous features as the Khumbhu Icefall, the Western Cwm, the Yellow Band and the Geneva Spur. Once you're on the summit push, you will look back in awe towards Makalu, Lhotse, and when you are standing on the South Summit – which stands at 90m vertical below the true summit – you will see across towards the Hillary Step and the true summit, and know that your dream is within reach.
Why join with Expedition Base?
When it comes to mountaineering expeditions, for any peak, we are known for our sound strategy, strong leadership and well-resourced approach to our expeditions. The mountains are fun and full of wonderful experiences. But, we also recognise that they also carry with them risk. For that reason, we approach the mountains on the basis of ‘safety first’. With safety as our first focus, fun and amazing experiences will follow. Few companies offer logistics as good as ours for a reasonable price point. Our goal is to put our clients in the best position for success, whatever their personal goal in the mountains may be. Our guides are some of the best in the business, with experience on a wide range of peaks from small, right up to the 8,000m peaks, many with multiple summits on the 8,000m peaks. We see strong leadership as critical to success on the world’s highest peaks and we can offer that leadership here at Expedition Base – and not all companies can. We offer the level of services historically offered by leading western companies, but without costly western overheads. In the mountains, your safety is our prime importance. We know our clients value our commitment to them and with that flows a great experience.
