Himalayan alpine mountaineering course

Where better to learn alpine mountaineering skills than the Himalayas? If you learn on some of the highest mountains in the world, you'll be prepared for anywhere future adventures take you. I want to help you realize your alpine mountaineering dreams. That's why I'm offering this 25-day alpine mountaineering course in the Himalayas in Nepal.

Based out of Kathmandu, we will trek to high altitude through the Gokyo Valley and to Everest base camp. Along the way, we practice many different crucial mountaineering skills, including first aid, crevasse rescue, and rope work. In this way, the course is really a combination of classes plus an expedition.

In fact, the full course includes over 6000 m of peak climbing, so you will be able to practice all the new skills you've learned. You'll also practice getting acclimatized to high mountain climates as we gain thousands of meters of altitude. Some summit highlights of the trip are Gokyo Ri, Lobuche, and Island Peak.

Since this is a very long and difficult program, you must think carefully about your own fitness before booking. I am happy to help you decide if this alpine mountaineering course is right for you. If you're looking for a Himalayan mountain experience without the emphasis on skill-building, then you can check out some of the other trips I lead in the area. For example, you can join me to climb Mt Lhakpa Ri in Tibet.

If you want to learn high alpine mountaineering skills, then this is the perfect trip for you. The Himalayas are the ideal place to learn, and you'll trek incredible routes and summit world famous peaks.
