Island Peak (Ima Tse 6189
m. / 20,305 ft.) is taken as the mostly climbed Peak. It can be climb
in both the spring and autumn season. It is located in the upper Imja Valley of the Khumbu, surrounded by Himalaya. Observing from
above Dingboche the mountain has really the same appearance as an
island in a sea of ice. Peak offers very beautiful outlook in the
Khumbu (Everest area).
Island peak was named by
Eric Shipton in 1952 and the first ascent was made by members of the
1953 British Everest team as a training climb. The climbing is
challenging for the beginning alpine climber and the summit ridge
provides one of the most dramatic views in the mornings that a
Himalayan climber could dream of. The summit of Island Peak stands
nearby to the South Face of Lhotse, one of the world’s largest ice
walls, and offers stunning views of beautiful Ama Dablam and Makalu.
we
offers to climb Island Peak for those who are interested in climbing
without prior training and for the basic climbers. Every one can
climb it with no bottle oxygen. We will have a two days training at
Island Peak high camp before summit for those who have not climbed
or prior training for using ice axe and crampons. The approach to
climb Island Peak is an alpine of uncomplicated to sensible
difficulty where one can have opportunity to be trained some
technique to use climbing mechanism.
We are organizing Island Peak climbing in both the spring and autumn
seasons.
