MOUNTAIN TRIP HIMALAYA'S
2010 EVEREST EXPEDITION

We are excited to announce another expedition to Mount Everest. We are bringing our small company philosophy, great service, and experience to the highest mountain in the world. Mountain Trip led teams on Mount Everest in 2007 and 2008. We are bringing this same philosophy of unparalleled support back to the mountain again this year.

Mountain Trip Himalaya is our "sister" company, which focuses on leading the highest quality expeditions to the Himalaya. On our Mount Everest expeditions, MTH offers a one to one, climber to guide ratio.

This means we can offer you the best of both worlds: the support and logistical capabilities of a larger expedition and the flexibility of being able to climb at your own speed, with your own personal guide. By matching up climbers of roughly the same speed, we can travel up and down the mountain in smaller, independent groups instead of in the unwieldly teams of 12 that are so common on Everest. We provide one western guide and one trained Sherpa guide for every two climbers. Our goal is to safely provide you with the absolute best possible chance to stand on the summit of the world's highest mountain. This includes orchestrating the necessary logistics for a second summit bid if possible.

An ascent of Mount Everest is one of most difficult challenges you will face in your mountaineering career, and it is not to be taken lightly. We are looking for experienced mountaineers who are willing prepare in order to be in top physical condition when they join the team in an attempt to tackle the highest mountain in the world. Climbers should be able to work well with other teammates and be willing to work within the group for weeks at a time. We are giving preference to potential team members who have already been climbed with Mountain Trip or Mountain Trip Himalaya on other expeditions as they have already been evaluated by our guides.
