Mount Everest - SummitClimb Expeditions

Mount Everest: To stand on top of the world remains one of the most attractive goals to achieve for a mountaineer. We finished a very sucessful 2021 season in Nepal with summits on 24. May and 1. June, including a 5-day (Lukla to KTM) speed expedition, 100% safe and sucessful, and had a great Everest-2022-season. Our 2023-season awaits planing. To climb Everest two routes have established as "normal": the southern ascent from Nepal already used during the first ascent by Hillary and Tenzing in 1953, and the ascent from Tibet over the north ridge (currently closed, as in China). Despite the grown infrastructure, better and better-secured routes and strong support of Sherpas, it is an ultimate challenge and a great adventure to reach the top of Mount Everest.

Climb Everest

The ascent of Mount Everest, at 8,849 m / 29,032 ft a.s.l. the highest mountain in the world, is an attractive challenge. As much as the media report about mass tourism on Mount Everest, shocking looking pictures flood the social media: It is and remains a unique experience to stand on the highest mountain in the world! The wide view from the highest mountain in the world! The feeling to stand up there is unbelievable! The feeling that you make it!!
 
Every year we offer two expeditions to climb Mount Everest (southside and northside), the 7000m-Challenge at Lakpa Ri / North Col, and treks to the Everest base camps (Nepal and Tibet). SummitClimb is recognized as the premier expedition service at a fair value, with flexible options, great teams, and a superb reputation for enabling you to achieve your summit aspiration.

Expeditions

Two routes have established as "normal" to climb Mount Everest: the southern ascent from Nepal, already used during the first ascent by Hillary and Tenzing in 1953, and the northern ascent from Tibet (China).

Everest Expedition North - Tibet/China

Mystical Tibet, and the less frequented route: The approach up around 5,000 meters (16,500 feet) altitude is fast by road. With two base camps, the road camp at 5,100m (16,730 ft) and advanched base camp, the ABC, at 6,300m (20,700 ft) the starting point of the climbing route is high. Compared to the southern ascent, with the Khumbu Icefall and the avalanches of the Lhotse flank, the ascent over the north ridge is objectively less dangerous. However, the summit ascent from the last camp  at 8,300 m (27,230 ft) is technically demanding and leads over three steep steps. The passage between the 1st and 2nd step around 8,600 m (28,250 ft) is very exposed. After the 3rd step a final snow fields and a short rocky section on the northern side lead you to the top of the world. Please find more information on:
Everest Tibet - Expedition

Everest Expedition South - Nepal

Follow in the footsteps of the 1. ascent: The slow ascent through the green Khumbu valley offers a nice and good acclimatization. The route of the ascent starts just above the base camp at 5,700 meters altitude with the infamous Khumbu Icefall, a good test and training for the climb. The normal route from Nepal is longer and objectively more dangerous, but technically less demanding than the northern ascent. It is particularly suitable for climbers who are technically less experienced. The summit ascent from the South Col at almost 8,000m (26,000 ft) height is long and exposed. After the South Summit, you climb the famous '"Hillary Step" to stand on top of the world. Please find more information on:

Covid-19 for Mount Everest

Status: 25th Feb. 2022
 

Here you can also find information about our COVID-19-evaluation for Nepal and Tibet. We are preparing our 2023 expeditions and will gladly accept your request. Mount Everest is on the border of China with Nepal and accordingly look at the development for those two countries.

Nepal: OK

Restrictions:

  • Entry is possible with negative Covid-19 test or Covid-19-certificate

  • CCMC-registration

No other restrictions in place, and our 2021 and 2022 seasons were operated sucessfully

Tibet (China): Closed

Outlook: Currently no entry is possible (only with at least 2 weeks quarantine, PCR test) and permits are not issued. A positive change for the Everest season 2022 is rather unlikely.

2023 - Expeditions

Mount Everest, Nepal 2023

The season is 100% planned and prepared. On the part of the number of participants this expedition is confirmed. We are planning for quarantine in Kathmandu, although of course we hope that this rule will be lifted again.

Mount Everest, Tibet 2023

You can sign up. However, you should be prepared for a change to Nepal (7000m+ Challenge on Camp-3-Tour or Baruntse Expedition). Alternatively, we offer a free postponement to 2024 until 3 weeks before the start of the trip.

Overview, Covid-19-Pandemic

All international expeditions to Mount Everest for spring 2020 had been cancelled (for SummitClimb: on March 3 for Tibet, on March 12 for Nepal). Many team members on the 2020 expedition had postponed their participation until 2021, which turned out to be a very busy season (we had 100% success rate in difficult conidtions, weather as Covid-19-outbreaks in other base camp). In 2022 fewer people visited Mount Everest but again the season went well (great weather, high overall success rate).
 

Everest - 2023

You are welcome to register now for 2023. The number of participants for the Nepal expedition has already been secured and there is a lot of interest in Tibet. As the organizer, we will take care of the price insurance, so that you can look forward to your 2023 expedition with planning security.

Everest - 2024

Inquiries for 2024 and further we gladly accept and help with the long-term preparation. The pricing is still subject to too many unknowns for a fixed offer due to the climbing fee (permit), currency fluctuations, and high inflation.
