Do you have serious time constraints, need to spend more time focusing on work, productivity, and family at home, and are concerned about time spent acclimatizing on the mountain?

Our speed ascent programs offer considerably shorter itineraries by taking advantage of pre-acclimatization technology in the comfort of your own home before you depart, and can mitigate the amount of time spent in harm’s way in the mountains and at extreme altitudes, which can improve overall safety.

While often touted as cutting edge, we have been successfully helping our clients use portable hypoxic chambers to pre-accustom their bodies to the rarefied air found at altitude with great success for many years.

We take a measured, conservative approach. We recognise that altitude chambers are not a complete substitute for natural acclimatisation, and as such, we fine-tune your schedule to take advantage of the best of both worlds, optimising your efficiency, safety, and success.

Depending on your unique needs, we will help tailor either the 40- or 30-day itinerary to suit your window of opportunity.

Please note: Speed Ascents require a high degree of dedication to your pre-acclimatization program at home in the altitude chamber. Deviation from your schedule, even for a few days, can impact your chances of success.

The more aggressive 30-day schedule requires commitment to a longer pre-acclimatization period at home of at least 8 weeks using Hypoxico systems. Before flying directly to Pheriche (skipping the Lobuche climb), you will meet your team at Everest Base Camp, ready for the second rotation.

The 40-day schedule utilises a more natural acclimatisation and requires commitment to a 6-week pre-acclimatization period at home using the Hypoxico systems before flying into Pheriche to meet your team ready for an ascent of Lobuche East Peak. This gives you the added benefit of an extra natural acclimatization rotation and the joy of standing on top of another great Himalayan peak.
