 TRAIN FOR EVEREST- or for learning the ropes to climb any mountains big or small. There is no better place to train than in the Himalayas.

 All three members who participated in this program in 2011' summited Everest in 2012'.

Learn and test skills needed to climb big mountains all while in the eyes of Everest.

 During our THREE PEAKS expedition in Nepal we learn to rope up-tie in- and climb together on some of the most impressive mountains in the world. 

Many climbers are under the impression they have to climb an 8000m peak like Cho Oyu or peaks like Denali to learn how your body does at altitude. We believe that if your body has acclimatized to 6000m with success, it demonstrates your body has the ability to adjust , which is key. 

 On the THREE PEAKS climb you will learn far more than just being on a high altitude walk. Safety should be the entire basis of a training climb and there is no better place to learn, or person to with than  Tim Rippel- Mountain Rescue examiner, Altitude Mountain Guide/Instructor and Mountain Safety and Risk Management professional for over 29 years.

PHYSICAL CONDITIONING

In the best interest of personal safety, success and team compatibility, adequate training and physical conditioning is required. Prior climbing experience of carrying a heavy pack for multiple days serves as an excellent preparation for this course; Climbers must be able to carry an average of  15kg to 20kg.  Good  cardio will serve you well for attaining proper acclimatization in good time. 

MENTAL PREPAREDNESS

We feel our Everest Training climbs are the best there is. After taking this course one should feel mentally prepared and experience "WISE" for high altitude or any other mountaineering expedition or climb. For aspiring Everest climbers this serves as an excellent opportunity to meet your leader and Sherpas while focusing on the world's largest mountaineering objective "Mt. Everest" which will be standing directly in front of you the entire time. Visualization IS a powerful tool! 

On Everest, when your body is no longer working for you like it used to, it is your mind that will get you there and back down again safely. Participants who learn on Himalayan peaks have proven to be more successful on Everest. 

Join us on our next adventure!
