Climbing Island Peak into EBC, Grade: Demanding
"Trek
into the heart of the Khumbu area in the shadow of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse,
Ama Dablam, Pumori, Makalu and Cho Oyu
with a summit climb of Island Peak".
Climbers and trekkers have long been drawn by the
lure of the world's highest mountain, discovering the breathtaking beauty of the
Everest region and friendliness of its people. Unlike the classic Everest Base
Camp treks, which follow the valley floors, our route goes high into the
mountains, bringing stunning panoramic views of the Khumbu Himal and Everest
itself. The climax of the trek is the ascent of 6189m Imja Tse or Island Peak
as it was named by Shipton, who saw it as 'an island in a sea of ice'. In fine
weather, the view from its summit is vast and breathtaking and a fitting reward
to adventurous climbers.
