Common Inquiries

What is the minimum physical requirement?

Climbers must be able to carry a 20kg pack for 8 hours uphill for several consecutive days. We provide a 6-month training blueprint upon registration.

How do you handle medical emergencies at altitude?

Every camp is equipped with hyperbaric chambers, advanced medical kits, and satellite comms. Our guides are trained in high-altitude medicine.

Is oxygen mandatory for all expeditions?

For peaks above 8,000m, we strongly recommend supplemental oxygen for safety. "No O2" climbs are only permitted for pre-vetted elite alpinists.

What happens if the weather window closes?

Safety is our priority. If a safe summit window does not appear within the expedition timeframe, we descend. We offer a 20% credit toward your next attempt.
