Nepal Mount Everest Expedition via the South Col.

Mount Everest at 8,848 meters / 29,035 feet is the tallest and perhaps most coveted mountain in the world. The south (Nepalese) side is the route first climbed by Tenzing and Hillary in 1953, and the dates we have chosen feature the best weather of the year. The Nepal side of Everest is warmer and less windy than the Tibet side. The approach to base camp includes one of the most beautiful treks in the world, and goes through tiny villages and teahouses and camps in sunny meadows beneath stunning peaks. Mountaineering through the south col route is considered accessible and easier compared to north col ridge

The climb is led by Dan Mazur and David O’Brien . With decades of experience in Himalayan climbing, the leaders and expert Sherpa provide a safe and enjoyable expedition to the top of the world.

On the mountain, above basecamp, we provide you with abundant and nutritious locally available quick-cooking food, so that you may prepare at least three meals and lots of hot drinks each day, in our specially designed high-altitude stoves using our butane-propane expedition mix fuel. This food will consist of soup, local cheese & sausage, biscuits, dried noodles, potatoes, rice, porridge, butter, dried and tinned vegetables, fruit, meats, and fish, tea with milk and sugar, powdered juice drink, and drinking chocolate. Our sherpas will be carrying this food to the higher camps. We now have a skillful cook in camp 2 to prepare 3 delicious hot meals and plenty of drinks each day you stay there.
We provide you with a special high altitude stove and fuel canisters. Our stoves are of the "hanging" type, designed to be used inside the tent (well ventilated of course). We have found these to be the best possible stoves for high altitude use, as it is essential to cook inside the tent during stormy weather. Our stoves are suspended above the floor so you have room to sit comfortably and warmly in your sleeping bag while cooking.
Our high altitude fuel is of two types. Above 7000 metres/23,000 feet we use imported propane/butane 250 gramme canisters. Below 7000 metres/23,000 feet we refill the canisters with propane gas. Liquid fuel does not work above 6000 metres/19,700 feet so we don't use liquid fuel above basecamp or advanced basecamp.

Here is what Michael T says: professional, technically strong, considerable experience and good value friendly and supportive, flexible to team and individual needs, unlike other companies
Here is what Hong T had to say: I had a fantastic climb of Mount Everest with Summittrek, not only great people but our leaders plus the sherpas were just wonderful! Would climb other 8000m+ peaks with them again. Another dream came true and without the sherpas we wouldn‘t make it to the top. Thanks for everything!
Here is what Monika says: One more time - thanks a lot for Everest Summit, especially for the decision to climb on the 23rd. It was a good choice, especially with the weather. Monika
Here is what Vik from Seattle had to say: "The leader provided great team leadership and is a very good communicator, clear and patient. I liked the independence afforded on the expedition and we had a good team. The solar charger and battery setup in basecamp worked well and the double wall dining tent and heater were nice. The sherpas were very hard working and super friendly. There were no slackers on the staff."

Here is what Eric from Canada, the youngest Canadian male to summit Everest had to say: It’s a personal accomplishment I have been thinking about for a very long time. I am very happy with the outcome. When I saw the south summit I felt confident and on top of Everest I felt happiness, excitement, and relief at being on top of the world.

Here is what the Mallorys from Canada, a family of 4 Everest summiters, had to say: SummitClimb is very patient and well organized. On expedition the showers were nice, the toilet facilities were good, tent arrangements were comfortable, the food servers were great, the food was tasty, and we even had heaters in basecamp and doctors on the trip.

The organization was well done and we had very little concerns, with all of our requirements were met. We had a great climb with a huge deal of success.

The SummitClimb Sherpas were very supportive, capable and helped us at important times when we needed their assistance. Preparation for the climb was made easy, with all of the important information available on the SummitClimb website. Questions were readily answered rapidly by the SummitClimb office staff. Most importantly, the leader was very professional, respectful, communicated information readily, and was a key component in the success we enjoyed on Everest
