Mt. Kyazo Ri Expedition

Overview

Climb Mt. Kyazo Ri climbing peak which is situated in the Khumbu Himal just north of Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital of Nepal. It is a long line of peaks continuing all the way to Cho Oyu on the Nepalese Tibetan border. With the Thame valley to the west and Gokyo valley to the east the 6186m high Kyazo Ri is the highest summit on the southern part of this ridge. It was issued its first climbing permit in 2002 and is seldom climbed. 

Expeditions and Climbing Peaks

All our expeditions and climbing peaks are supported by satellite phone, two way radio, support oxygen (when required) and comprehensive first aid medical kit. We only use top quality expedition tents.

High Altitude Warning

Safety is a major consideration during all our expeditions however there are dangers involved in climbing 6000m, 7000m and 8000m peaks that cannot be avoided. The extreme altitude, weather, cold and other mountaineering hazards ensure high altitude climbing has unavoidable risks at the best of times, members of our expeditions need to be aware of these dangers and accept that they are an integral part of high altitude mountaineering.
