Mount Everest, 8,848m. Emotionally overwhelming, consuming exhilaration mixed with utter relief, the knowledge that for a few minutes you have the entire planet beneath your feet. To stand on the summit of Mount Everest is to be on top of the world in every possible meaning of the term.  For all climbers it is the magnificent achievement, a crowning glory in a lifetime of adventure.

Mt. Everest is an exciting but serious undertaking meant for climbers with prior experience at altitude and sound climbing skills. Not for the faint hearted, it is a potentially dangerous mountain that requires a significant amount of time climbing in the ‘Death Zone’. Rolfe Oostra and 360 Expeditions are honoured to have teamed their expertise with Mike Hamill (Climbing The Seven Summits)  to offer you an unparalleled opportunity to climb Mt Everest.

In order to marginalize the risks faced by every Everest climber, we focus huge amounts of energy on strategy, planning our every move on the mountain in minute detail. We work with lightweight oxygen systems, state of the art equipment, a refined acclimatisation schedule, the best weather forecasting available and employ a phenomenal Sherpa team to ensure our clients have the greatest opportunity for success. 

Climb Everest via the South Col with an elite team of Sherpa operating to the highest of standards & 360's director Rolfe Oostra, a professional mountaineer who's guided on multiple 8,000m peaks, multiple times. Our itinerary allows for excellent acclimatising. Included: 1:1 Sherpa support, full Os & excellent logistics.

Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrive Kathmandu. The initial phase of your ascent of Mount Everest is subject to minor changes depending on flight arrival and departure times, weather, group dynamics and fitness and so on, but the itinerary outlined provides an excellent indication of the trek and what you will experience.

This itinerary is only a rough estimate and will be determined by weather and acclimatisation. This is adventure travel so the schedule will likely change and not everything will go as planned. People need to be adaptable and positive.

We recommend that people arrive in Kathmandu one day early to avoid travel delays or issues with lost baggage. Additional costs (hotel/food/sightseeing) for this extra day are the client’s responsibility. Please let us know if you want us to arrange logistics for you arriving early or if you would prefer a single room option.

Day 2 - Today is all about preparation for the expedition ahead with a comprehensive briefing by your Everest leader and a full kit check.

Everest via the South Col
Aside from Rolfe's excellent technical ability, his attention detail and client care, is truly fantastic. He was utterly heroic on Everest in 2019 and I saw first hand his commitment to clients. Like every good leader though, he needs a good team, and he has that in buckets including with Marni at the control centre. My experiences of 360 Expeditions has always been brilliant.
