All our climbs over 5000 meters on every continent
Expeditions Unlimited guides you on the climb of peaks over 5000 meters, as a goal in itself, or to complete the challenges of the Seven Summits, the Seven Volcanic Summits, or as a natural progression towards a 6000 and then 7000-meter summit. In Europe, we climb Elbrus (5642 m) and in Africa, we climb Kilimanjaro (5895 m), Mount Kenya Batian Peak (5199 m) or Mount Stanley (5109 m) in the Rwenzori region of Uganda. We climb Mount Damavand (5610 m) in Iran, the highest volcano in Asia, and Pic de Orizaba (5636 m) in Mexico, the highest volcano in North America. Together with our sister activity Tamera, we climb Cotopaxi (5897 m) in Ecuador, and set off on a 1500 km Great Himalayan Trail across Nepal, climbing numerous passes at over 5000 meters.
These expeditions at over 5000 meters require good physical condition, and many do not require mountaineering techniques. Hypoxic stress, particularly at over 6000 meters and on short expeditions with little time for acclimatization, can make these climbs more difficult than they appear. These expeditions are supervised by recognized and experienced local expedition leaders. On each of these expeditions, we offer a H24 medical hotline. Together, we build your itinerary to your first 6000. We offer beginner and advanced mountaineering courses in our Adventure School, climbs over 4000 meters in the Alps, 6000 meters peaks as well as an unrivalled range of expeditions to 7000 and 8000-meter peaks, enabling you to progress at your own pace.
