One directory for every company that guides the 7 summits
The relaunched 7summits.com lists 129 expedition companies and 496 of their trips, compared side by side for each peak and read by climbers in four languages.
Amsterdam, 28 October 2026. Climbers choosing a company for Everest, Denali, Vinson or any of the other summits now have one place to compare them. The operator directory on the relaunched 7summits.com lists 129 companies with 496 trips read off their own websites and compared side by side, peak by peak. Every company is listed for free and ordered by the same columns, so a climber sees a fair picture and a company is found for what it offers.
Where the climbers are
The directory sits beside free guidebooks to all 8 summits, a gear list for every mountain, the record of the 811 people who have finished them and a forum with a room for every peak, in English, Dutch, Spanish and German. Every guidebook links straight to the companies that guide that peak, so a climber reading the Aconcagua route is one click from the companies that lead it.

write its own description and add photos of its trips
show its prices for each peak and what each trip includes
receive enquiries from climbers through a form on the listing
