Climbing Mount Shishapangma in Tibet
Reach the summit of Mount Shishapangma (8,013 m) in this 42-day mountaineering expedition to the heart of the Himalayas, in Tibet, leaded by one of the very few IFMGA certified mountain guides from Nepal.
Description
Do you want to be a part of a great climb at Mount Shishapangma in Tibet?
Join me in this 42-day expedition. Mount Shishapangma is one of the highest peaks of the world. It belongs to the Himalaya’s eight thousands and, although it is the lowest of them it’s the only one which is located entirely in Tibet.
For climbers already experienced in high-altitude climbing, reaching the summit of Mount Shishapangma involves minimal risk. Besides, it is an ideal starting point for those who are initiating the challenge of climbing at eight mile.
This expedition starts in the city of Kathmandu (in Nepal). After a few days of travel, we will reach Shishapangma’s Base Camp and and have a couple days of acclimatization. Then, I’ll guide you through the Northwest Ridge (the normal route), the climbing route that will take us directly towards the Central Summit. Once there, there’ll be a final challenge: crossing a knife-edge ridge that joins the Central Summit to the south one.
The Advanced Base Camp (ABC) will be installed at 5540m, Camp 1 at 6200m, Camp 2 at 6700m and Camp 3 at 7400m.

About the guide
I'm a certified NNMGA / UIAGM / IFMGA mountain guide from Nepal. I found my passion for the outdoors and climbing early in life when I was first contracted as a trekking guide for a Japanese team to Yala peak (5520m). Since then I have worked with many adventure tourism agencies and successfully summited Mt. Everest, Mt. Cho-Oyu, Mt. Ama Dablam , Mt. Baruntse and many other peaks in Nepal. I'm fluent in German and English which allowed me to guide in the Alps several times. I have a right temperament, I'm dedicated and I have a friendly approach to lead and help the climbing teams accomplish their goals.
