Island Peak Climbing is a perfect entry to the mountain climbing in the Himalayas. Despite being a non-technical peak, many climbers fail to approach at the summit just because of the high altitude. Island Peak is one of the soft peaks of the world. Many people grade it as a trekking peak as it does not need high mountaineering skills to reach the summit of this peak.
Island Peak is located in the upper Imja valley at 6189 m above the sea level. So, it is also known as Imja Tse Peak.
The approach to the Island peak begins following the traditional trail of Everest Base Camp from Lukla-Phakding-Namche-Tengboche to Dingboche. From Dingboche, the trail moves toward Chukung where we have our last overnight before climbing to the summit. Basically, we offer 2 different itineraries for Island Peak Climbing. Next, the most popular route also includes the trek to Everest Base Camp as it enables every climber to be used-to of high altitude.
No doubt, our climbing guide/expert will teach you rope skills just before beginning to ascent; it will make an ideal trip for the beginner climbers. Similarly, with an assistance of our reliable and experienced guide, an enthusiastic climber can successfully conquer to reach the top of the peak despite having basic climbing skills.

My 1st climbing accident of the season. I should write a report on "why you shouldn't top rope a very overhung ceiling crack." which should then be followed by a paper on "reasons people who think they never burn should wear sunscreen."
Yeah I've been all sorts of stupid. But really, who gets sun-burnt in April?!

There was a narrow spiral path up to the top of the giant boob, and it was pretty dumb of us to take it because of the powerful cold wind that day. It was the scariest thing we did on the trip!
What better way to relax while you climb the last 200 meters of Brasstown Bald than to replenish with a bit of Coca-Cola?
