A Camp 3 climb is a phenomenal way to prepare for a future Everest or another 8,000m climb, not to mention a stunning and challenging climb in and of itself.

If Everest is on your horizon, gaining familiarity with the route, the style of climbing required to master the Khumbu icefall, the Western CWM and the Lhotse face and even understanding the nature of what it is to be part of an Everest expedition will give you an unparalleled advantage when you return for your summit bid in the future. (A Camp 3 climb also satisfies the 7,000m Everest pre-requisite in a fun, affordable and productive way)

Our Camp 3 climbers are also offered the opportunity of using oxygen whilst climbing on the Lhotse Face in order to become familiar with the systems and gain that invaluable skill set for the future. A huge advantage!

Lhotse is an absolutely stunning climb and a true Himalayan giant in its own right. The world’s 4th tallest mountain it is a massive mountaineering achievement. Many Everest climbers come back to climb Lhotse because of the beautiful nature of the ascent and to part of the Everest and Lhotse communities once again. Some people also want to experience the Everest route (until nearly high camp) including the Khumbu icefall, the Western Cwm, and the Lhotse Face without the Everest price tag. Regardless of the reasons, Lhotse is a great climb.

We will pair you with one of our hand-picked climbing Sherpa for your climb of Lhotse. You will be sharing base camp with the Everest climbing team and using all of the same luxurious facilities. We encourage you to customize your Lhotse expedition to suit your needs and budget.

Lobuche Peak is a jewel of the Himalaya and arguably offers perhaps the best summit view in the world! Lobuche is surrounded by the tallest peaks on earth and the view from the summit peers out on the Everest/Lhotse/Nuptse massif, Makalu, Pumori, Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu, Thamserku, and many others. This is a great first Himalayan climb and a great training peak for taller mountains such as Aconcagua, Ama Dablam, and Manaslu. To consider an ascent of Lobuche East peak participants must be familiar with crampon and ice axe technique and have used a harness before. We will run a training refresher at Lobuche base camp before the ascent so if you are a little rusty, don’t worry, we will get you up to speed. If you’re not sure if you have the experience for this climb, please ask us. If not, we can recommend other training to get prepared for a Lobuche ascent.

If you’re a climber your friends and family can join you on your acclimatization climb of Lobuche en route to Everest and challenge themselves on steep fixed-line climbing up rock, snow, and ice.

Our 3-Peaks climb and trek takes in three legendary peaks of the Khumbu: Lobuche East, Pokalde, and Island Peak – climbs which undoubtedly offer some of the best summit views in the world!

Starting with Lobuche, you will be surrounded by the tallest peaks on earth with summit views of the Everest/Lhotse/Nuptse massif, Makalu, Pumori, Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu, Thamserku, and many others.

Following your ascent of Lobuche, acclimatize further with a hike into Everest base camp and enjoy 2 nights living the true Everest experience with the Everest summit team including partaking in our ice climbing clinic on the Khumbu Glacier.

Following your stay at EBC, you will then trek over to the remote Pokalde base camp – an awe-inspiring bowl of Himalayan expanse where you will begin ascending your second Himalayan peak.

Finally we cross into the famed Imja Tse valley for a climb of world famous Island Peak. This is another great progression peak in the Himalayas and ideal training for taller mountains such as Aconcagua, Ama Dablam, and Manaslu.

3-Peak ascent participants should be familiar with crampon and ice axe use however we will run a training refresher at Lobuche base camp before the ascent so if you are a little rusty, don’t worry, we will get you up to speed.

The Everest Base Camp trek is widely heralded as the best trek in the world and for good reason; it’s beautiful, challenging yet achievable, and incredibly scenic. Roughly 40 miles/70 km you will trek through lush green pastures, blossoming Rhododendron forests and the most spectacular mountain terrain in the world.

The pinnacle of the CTSS EBC trek is Everest base camp proper at 17,600ft/ 5,500m where, being affiliated with an Everest climbing expedition, you are able to enter and spend 2x nights within Base Camp proper, something the vast majority of trekkers never experience.

This allows you to get a sense of the Everest base camp scene, trekking alongside summit climbers, be part of the climbing community and understand what goes into an Everest expedition.

If you are feeling good you have the added option to partake in an ice-climbing clinic (suitable for beginners) on the Khumbu Glacier and scale Kala Pathar the morning you leave base camp for stunning views of the Everest Massif, Lhotse and Nuptse.

Everest Base Camp Executive Luxury Trek & The Gokyo Extension are also available to family and friends.
