Everest

Join Expedition Base’s expedition to Mt Everest and by doing so, you will give yourself a great opportunity for success in reaching the top of the world’s highest mountain.


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 structure of the Expedition Base expedition to Mt Everest is to put you in the best position for success. Expedition Base is all about safety first, fun and wonderful experiences. It’s not about cost, nor cutting corners nor putting yourself and team members at undue risk. This expedition has its risks so Expedition Base will work with you to help to prepare you for the best experience possible and minimise the risks that may arise in a mission of this kind.

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.
