In spring 2009 we decided to offer you full service Everest Expedition from the South
We include in price:
- High-altitude sherpa - 1 for 1 member
- Guides - Everest summiters - 1 for 5 members
- Oxygen cylinders "POISK" – 6 items for one climber
- Expedition Doctor
- Stationary radios in all camps and walkie-talkies – 1 for 1 member
- fully equipped Base Camps 5100m and 6000m
- we provide sleeping bags and mattresses for common use in high camps
- 2 fully equipped High Camps 7600m and 8000m – including tents, sleeping bags, mattresses, gas-stoves, pans, gas-cylinders, dried food, oxygen bottles, delivered to High Camps by expedition Sherpas
- free access to e-mail, TV set, DVD, sauna in BC 5100m
All our high-altitude Sherpas have Everest experience. They bring all shared equipment and oxygen cylinders in high-altitude camps and accompany team all the way from ABC to the summit
Our expedition starts in Katmandu: we are all meeting in “Yak & Yeti” 5***** hotel March, 28. We will have transfers from the airport to the hotel for those arriving with later flights. First few days do the formatities ans organize excursions round Katmandu.
Two days later we start for Everestt: we fly from Katmandu to Lukla and than we have about a week`s trekking to Everest BC. In 6 days` time we get to Everest BC (5100m). By this time yaks and porters bring our stuff and Sherpas are establishing BC. After 2-3 days` rest in BC, our Sherpas carry equipment to IBC (6000m) and to ABC (6400m). One day later after ABC is ready, the expedition members start for ABC. ABC is a very comfotably built camp similar to BC.
After our Sherpas have established Camp 7300m, we will move there and spend one night for acclimatization. Then we descend to BC and have 3-4 days’ rest there. Meanwhile our Sherpas are establishing Camp 8000 on the South Col.
Next push we should reach Camp 7300m and will try to climb even higher (about 7800m). Usually it is difficult to achieve this because of bad weather or lack of acclimatization. In the later case we will descend to ABC, have a short rest there, and try to reach 7800m again. After that we will go down to BC and have a long rest there.
So after May 15-17 we will all move to ABC and start looking for a break in the weather
After a night at 8300m and a summit attempt you run out of strength for the second attempt and out of oxygen. So the most important thing here is to calculate everything properly: your strength, weather...
The advantage of our expedition is that it does not start too early and that it finishes after June 5-6. The end of May and beginning of June is usually the best time for the ascent in terms of weather.
So we return to Katmandu June 5-6. We stay at “Yak & Yeti” 5***** hotel and from here we will depart for the airport to take a flight home, each of us taking a piece of Everest in his heart.
