Climb Mt. Everest with Berg Adventures – Trip Description

Everest – South Col Route

Call us soon to discuss a position on our upcoming Everest Expedition to the South Col Route in Nepal.

Our post–monsoon or Fall expedition to Everest will provide an opportunity to attempt the mountain in the less crowded September-October climbing season. Wally Berg has led successful expeditions that put climbers on the summit of Everest in both the Spring and Fall seasons. We prefer the Autumn climbing-season, when the challenge of climbing the world’s highest mountain is simple and straightforward, not complicated by large numbers of teams and hordes of people

Is Everest right for you? Are you right for Everest? What should be your next step? When is “your time”? Call us to schedule a telephone appointment with Wally Berg to discuss your dreams of climbing Everest.

Proper preparation and organization, as well as choosing a team that is right for you, are critical. We have the resources and time to make your Everest dream a success, and the patience and expertise to help you navigate the road to the top of the world.

Everest is still the ultimate summit for any mountaineer. The accomplishment of standing on its apex is not diminished by recent popularity. No one can climb Everest for you, and, despite what some believe, terms such as “short roping” do not apply. This is a mountaineer’s climb, demanding skill and self-awareness; our team will take on this challenge in a competent and focused manner, using the collective experience of elite Sherpa high-altitude mountaineers under Wally Berg’s leadership

Each of our team members will benefit from the same level of support and equipment, and each will have the goal of standing on the top of Everest. We do not believe in the “tiered” pricing for various categories of team membership that has become the hallmark of the strictly commercial expeditions to Everest in recent years.

With our team, each member will have superb support from the most experienced Sherpas climbing on the mountain. Oxygen systems will be the finest available, and the supply of oxygen for each team member will be more than adequate for a strong summit attempt and for emergency backup if necessary. All BAI climbing Sherpas and guides are given plenty of oxygen and are required to use it.

We will approach the climb with all the dedication, humility and organization necessary to succeed on the highest summit on Earth.

If you can begin now to prepare yourself physically and mentally for this expedition and if you have up to two months available, from late August to late October, you can become a member of a strong BAI Everest team.

If your Everest goals are further down the road, please call us to discuss a strategy that will get your training and plans headed in the right direction.

Khumbu Icefall / Western Cwm Expedition

Following a trek to Everest Base Camp, the team will carefully and strategically make their way through the infamously daunting Khumbu Icefall to spend the night at Camp II, enjoying the view from one of the most spectacular campsites in the mountaineering world.

If you’re considering climbing Everest, this is an invaluable training and preparation trip – you will find out if you have what it takes to aim for the top of the world. In the past, numerous people have arrived at Everest Base Camp planning to climb to the summit, only to turn back before reaching Camp II, unprepared for what they found. This trip will help you make sure you can realistically set your sights on the summit.

If you are short on time, money or training to get to the summit but have always dreamed of Everest, you will be rewarded with a deep sense of accomplishment and a lifetime worth of precious memories of Everest’s Western Cwm, one of the planet’s most alluring places.

If you think this trip is right for you, contact us immediately with information about your climbing experience. Note that, even though the Icefall has not statistically been the most dangerous part of Everest in recent years, it is still an area that presents extremely high objective hazards by a mountaineer’s standards. The Khumbu Icefall is not a safe place, or a place to "play." However, it can be an awesome, beautiful and unique test for those who are drawn to Everest's history and the ultimate challenges that it can present.
