Peak climbing sits between trekking and mountaineering. The trekking peaks — Island Peak at 6,189 metres, Mera Peak at 6,476, Lobuche East, Yala and Pisang — are climbed on a rope with crampons and an ice axe, and they are the step people take when a base camp trek is no longer enough.
They are not a harder walk. A summit day starts around two in the morning, involves fixed rope on snow and ice, and requires that you can use crampons and a jumar before you arrive. We will not send somebody up one who has not done that, and we will say so rather than take the booking.
What a climb needs beyond a trek: a climbing permit from the Nepal Mountaineering Association, a climbing guide rather than a trekking guide, technical equipment, an extra acclimatisation day or two, and insurance that covers climbing above 6,000 metres rather than trekking.
