A Personal Welcome to 'Climbing the Seven Summits' 3 Peaks Expedition from Mike Hamill
This expedition is a great opportunity to climb three classic Himalayan climbs and get in a ton of climbing in a short amount of time for an affordable price by capitalising on your acclimatization and having such incredible mountains together in a small geographical location.
This expedition will really set you up as you progress to higher, more challenging peaks and definitely help you progress quickly in your climbing career. My advice is to not be intimidated by these ascents just because you are climbing alongside an Everest summit team or because they are in the Himalaya. Our team will run through training clinics and make sure you are ready and feeling confident but it’s important to remember the key is pacing yourself. You have three peaks to climb, don’t blow yourself out on the trek in, or even the first climb. Take your time, allow your acclimatization to happen, be patient with yourself and you will do well. Remember it’s not a competition, the time for training by pushing yourself to your very limit is now over, and it’s time to get into endurance mode vs sprinting.
The beauty of it being 3 mountains on a single expedition is if for whatever reason you feel gassed out on Lobuche you still have Pokalde and Island Peak to go. You can have an off day and turning around on one peak is ok, don’t lose heart and keep enjoying the experience. You will feel stronger the next day and continue to become a better climber..
You are going to be blown away by the view from the climbs and summits- arguably the best in the Himalayas and feel a true sense of accomplishment. We look forward to sharing these beautiful Himalayan gems with you and showing you the wonders of high altitude climbing.
All the best,
Mike Hamill
