Acclimatization and High-Altitude Resources
At Climbing the Seven Summits, our priorities are always safety and success, in that order. That’s exactly why acclimatization schedules are one of the most important pieces of our logistical planning for all of our expeditions. Sure, you’d expect a generous acclimatization schedule if you’re summiting Aconcagua or Mount Everest, but we also employ these same principles on lower objectives like Kilimanjaro and our Everest Base Camp Trek—setting ourselves apart from operators who may rush you up the mountain.
Our resources below will deepen your understanding of acclimatization and high-altitude environments. If you have any lingering questions about acclimatization, you’re welcome to send our team a note at info@climbingthesevensummits.com.

This webinar and Q&A session is hosted by three top industry experts: Dr. Brenton Systermans, CTSS guide and expedition doctor; Chad Althiser from Hypoxico Altitude Training Systems; and Nick Hart from The Altitude Centre in London.

Speed Ascents
Our Speed Ascent programs offer considerably shorter itineraries than our standard trips. They take advantage of pre-acclimatization technology in the comfort of your own home before you depart. Click on each image below to learn about our climbs that offer a Speed Ascent option.
