In 2020 Everest One will be undertaking an expedition to summit Mount Everest, following the success of our 2011 expedition.
The ultimate dream of most mountaineers is to one day take on the biggest mountaineering challenge possible – climbing Mount Everest – and Everest One is here to help you make that dream a reality!
Of course, turning this dream into reality requires a lot of hard work. Everest One will only accept climbers who have the requisite skills and level of experience.
The aim of Everest One’s Mount Everest expedition is to provide the necessary framework for expedition members to have a safe, enjoyable trip, with the best possible chance of summiting. The key components of this framework include:
-
Employing an experienced, strong, caring and professionally trained team of Sherpa guides, all with previous Everest experience/summits
-
Creating a small, cohesive team of climbers and Sherpas
-
Strictly vetting the calibre of expedition members
-
Providing a comfortable base camp
-
Ensuring everyone remains healthy, mind and body
We will tackle Mount Everest via the South Col and South East ridge route. You’ll feel like you’re climbing through history as you pass through and across such infamous features as the Khumbhu Icefall, the Western Cwm, the Yellow Band and the Geneva Spur.
Once you’re on the summit push, you’ll look back in awe towards Makalu and Lhotse. When you’re standing on the South Summit you’ll stare across towards the Hillary Step and the true summit, and know that your dream is within reach.
