Frequently Asked Questions
The north-east ridge route we use for expedition of Mount Pumori is an extreme physical and physiological undertaking. If you are considering climbing Mount Pumori, you must first ask yourself several honest questions: Am I physically fit enough? Am I technically capable of handling the expected terrain and conditions? Am I mentally and emotionally strong enough for high-altitude expeditions?
As Pumori North-East ridge route which we use is pretty technical climb, we recommend you climbing other 6,000m peaks Like Lobuche Peak (6,119 m / 20,062 ft), Island Peak (Imja Tse) (6,189 m/ 20,305 ft) Pisang Peak (6,091 m/ 19,984 ft) or easier 7,000m peaks like Himlung Himal (7,126 m / 23,379 ft) in Annapurna region.
Climbing Pumori successfully is no easy feat. There are many components that can determine the success or failure of your expedition. Here, we list some noteworthy components based on our experience so you can prepare yourself for the success accordingly.
- Personal physical and mental fitness as well as previous climbing experiences
- Personal climbing Equipment
- Weather conditions and Timing
- Personal climbing Sherpa guide and their experiences
- Local operator’s ability and experiences as well as enough resource management
If a Sherpa guide gets sick or is unable to continue at any point during the expedition, we will immediately replace him/them with one of the additional Sherpa guide(s) in the team. We also maintain a pool of highly experienced backup Sherpa guides who can step in at any time. This ensures that each climber continues to receive personalized 1:1 support during the summit attempt.
Even in the case that an issue arises during the summit push, the expedition leader can act as your personal climbing Sherpa guide. This is the main reason why we always include 1-2 additional Sherpa guides beyond the number required, to ensure safety, support, and flexibility throughout the expedition.
