  • The Everest North Col Expedition

    Himalayan Experience is offering clients the exciting opportunity of climbing to the North Col of Everest with three different departure dates throughout the season.

    Our refined programme is ideal for those clients who have some previous climbing experience and would like to take on the considerable challenge of climbing to 7,000 metres.

    Although climbing at this altitude is not easy, the superb views of the North Face of Everest from the Col make it all worthwhile and the whole experience will leave you with a huge sense of achievement.

    This trip has the added advantage of offering three different departure dates throughout the season.  You will be met in Kathmandu by a member of the Himalayan Experience team who will accompany you to Base Camp, where you will meet the Guides who will look after you for the rest of the expedition.

  • Route Description

    This expedition involves a 22 km walk from Base Camp at 5,200m to Advanced Base Camp at 6,400m over two days. Several days are spent at ABC in order to acclimatise before making the five to six hour climb via fixed ropes up to the North Col.

    The route is initially a straight forward trail up moraine to the East Rongbuk Glacier, which leads to the fixed ropes. The descent takes around three hours.

    The North Col is a fairly large area where all expeditions make Camp 1 and from where there are fantastic views of the whole of the North face of Everest, the West Rongbuk Glacier, Lho La, Pumori and Cho Oyo.
