Seven Summits

Mount Everest

Despite being the highest, Everest is not the most difficult of the 8000 metre peaks, but it does present certain unique challenges because of its superior height and nowadays the issues around over-crowding and impact on the environment. Climate change has had a big impact on summit windows. We provide a training and preparation programme, and an itinerary that provides a safe and optimal chance of reaching the summit.

Mount Aconcagua Horcones Route

A challenging expedition to the highest peak in South America, although modestly technical. Much of the hiking is on scree and rock. with snow and ice higher up. We run our trips on the basis of a minimum of 8 people, so we are not running regular trips every season. Please contact us to find out our latest numbers. We use both routes on the mountain - Vacas and Horcones. Some groups have a preference but we will try to run one trip per season on each side.

Challenge	Strenuous

Carstensz Pyramid

Carstensz Pyramid, also known as Puncak Jaya is one of the famous 'Seven Summits' situated on the Indonesian island of Papua New Guinea. These expeditions run throughout the year, normally two or three departure dates for the 8 day trip. We use a helicopter to reach base camp as the trek has become too dangerous. This trip requires a two month lead-in time to process the permits.

Altitude	4884 m
Challenge	VS/5.8

Machame Route Kilimanjaro

This seven day camping route begins on the south west side of Kilimanjaro and skirts the summit massif over several days of good acclimatisation, and descends south down the Mweka route. Machame highlights the diversity of the different habitats of the mountain particularly well, which is perhaps why it accounts for 40% of all visitors to the mountain now.

The Northern Circuit Route is the longest route on Kilimanjaro and often referred to as the connoisseur's route. It offers great acclimatisation over 9 days initially ascending the Lemosho route on the western side of the mountain up onto the Shira Plateau before reaching the Lava Tower and heading north and circumnavigating the main summit massif in a clockwise direction and joining up with the Rongai route. The summit is then climbed from the eastern side of the mountain and the descent is straight down via the southern Mweka route.
