2023 Mountain Plans Everest and K2

Best Greetings for 2023 ! How are your resolutions ?

Please share your 2023 MOUNTAIN PLANS with me. I am excited to hear from you!! I am Dan Mazur, SummitClimb’s Everest K2 climb and trek team leader. In 2022 I led my 12th successful Everest expedition and I have led 3 successful K2 climbs, with the first living Briton and 3 of the first Americans on K2 summit. I have rescued many climbers on Everest and K2, including Rick Allen, Lincoln Hall, Gary Ball. I enjoy being in the mountains with new and old friends, together with our expert helpful Sherpas. I am passionate about teaching, training, and reviewing climbing skills and also Himalayan non-profit volunteer work.

Already this year we have completed climbs of Aconcagua, the famous 7-Summit and Everest Base Camp Christmas New Year Trek.

Here at SummitClimb, we enjoy climbing and trekking with men and women of all ages and abilities. OUR FOCUS: 1) Safety, 2) Success, 3) Teamwork + Friendship, 4) TRAINING and 5) Giving Back to the Mountains and Communities We Visit. OUR PRICES ARE LOW. WE HAVE NOT RAISED OUR 2023 PRICES YET!

New 2023 Charity Projects: New toilet system for the climbers on Everest. Medical kits for Sherpas to carry and help everyone. Schools, hospitals, and temples for Nepalese kids and families.

Many of you have been in touch about going to K2, Everest, and nearby mountains.

I am really enjoying the conversations and welcome you to contact me: WhatsApp +13602503407 . Email: DanielMazur@SummitcClimb.com

Everest; less difficult than K2? There are some tricky sections on Everest, but often you are walking on snow. Last year we had 12 members and 15 Sherpas on the summit. K2: steep ascents and descents on fixed ropes, with mixed rock, snow, and ice. Last expedition 3 members and 5 Sherpas on the summit.
