Mera & Island Peak Expedition 14th October – 12th November 2017
We now have just 3 places available on our Autumn Mera & Island Peak expedition departing on 14th October. The expedition is being led by Adventure Peaks UK leader Christopher Kunhardt.
At 6476m, Mera Peak is the highest ‘trekking peak’ suitable for anyone with little or no previous experience of using an ice axe and crampons. The spectacular route is well within the reach of regular mountain walkers with a good level of fitness. Our careful programme of acclimatisation is designed to maximise your chance of comfortably reaching this special summit. After Mera Peak we trek over to Island Peak (6189m), which offers a slightly more technical climb. The ascent involves a comfortable scramble, an intriguing rock ridge and then onto a wonderful glacier. Onwards, a steep snow headwall leads to a classic summit ridge.
We also have a few places available on our other 6000m expeditions to Lobuche (6119m) departing on 28th October or Kyajo Ri (6186m) on 30th September.
