6x Reasons to Choose CTSS

Your safety and success are our top priorities, in that order. We make conservative decisions, plan redundancies, and all our guides have wilderness medical training, safety and rescue plans, and access to doctors around the clock to help keep you safe.

We keep our overheads low to pass savings on to you. We are proud to offer the best service at the most competitive price, without compromising on safety or taking shortcuts in logistics, staffing, or infrastructure.

Our service goes far beyond the mountain. Think of us as your climbing coach; we'll be there from start to finish to prepare, debrief, and plan your progression as a mountaineer, whether your goal is a single summit or the Seven Summits.

Guides can make or break your climb. We hand-pick the most qualified, tenured, tested, and personable guides and Sherpas in the world. Owner and mountaineer Mike Hamill personally oversees the logistics and management of each expedition.

We care about you, our people, and the planet. A portion of every expedition goes to the Tiger of the Snows Fund, supporting outdoor tourism workers and their families. We follow strict Leave No Trace principles and live by our No D*ckheads Policy, because who you climb with matters.

We have an unparalleled summit success rate. How? We do it in a myriad of ways; like a great chef's secret sauce, we've fine-tuned the recipe over decades. Most importantly, we believe in you & your ability to achieve your goals, and we are invested in putting you on top.
