Mountaineering

If you have previous experience of high-altitude mountaineering and are considering a very high-altitude expedition, now is the time to sign up. Expeditions Unlimited has confirmed three major expeditions to Nepal in autumn 2026, targeting iconic Himalayan peaks: Ama Dablam (6,812 m), Himlung Himal (7,126 m) and Manaslu (8,163 m). Three distinct objectives, ranging from technical development to major Himalayan expeditions, led by experienced guides. These projects represent magnificent goals in their own right, or form part of a structured progression towards reaching even greater heights. They combine ambition, safety and real-world experience in the field. Places are limited and the dates for our preparation weekends with our expedition leaders have already been set.

Everest, the roof of the world at 8849 meters, remains the dream of many a mountaineer, despite the criticism of its organization, which increases every year. The last few seasons have seen some serious changes in the number and value of climbers visiting the mountain. In this article, we look back at the recently concluded Spring 2024 season, during which, for the first time since 2019, the Tibetan North Face was also accessible. Weather windows, summit push, number of permits and percentage of summiters on the Nepalese and Tibetan sides, highlights... Everything worth remembering about this 2024 Everest mountaineering season.
