COME AND JOIN US ON AN ADVENTURE

Plan a International Expedtion with Vertical Resources and view a perspective of the world that not so many do. Whether you’re an experienced mountaineer who has had years of practice conquering peaks and looking to branch out into longer, higher trips – or a beginner looking to take your climbing up a notch to explore the peaks of the world we can provide you with the logistics, experience and passion to help you achieve your goals. We have been extensively climbing in some of the highest mountain ranges of the world as well as some of the more remote with the addition of now working in Antarctica.

International Mountaineering expeditions involve challenging treks on remote trails in variable weather conditions for up to eight hours a day, and this is potentially before you reach BaseCamp! Typically we will walk in slowly to acclimatize to altitude before embarking on our Expedition Objective.

You will need an moderate level of fitness and be completely comfortable in adverse weather conditions in remote areas. Your Expedition Leader there to help you through your trip as much or as little as you need.

The peak itself is reasonably non-technical and whilst prior experience of the use of crampons and ice axe is ideal it is not mandatory. The hardest part of climbing Island peak (if this is your first time to altitude) is actually in understanding your body’s adaptation to the process of acclimatisation and ensuring you take a slow approach to the peak. After our summit of island peak we will continue up to visit Everest Basecamp where you will get outstanding views of Everest / Nuptse / Pumori and the Khumbu Valley.

Putha Hiunchuli 2019

Putha Hiunchuli 2019

1 2 3 4 Overview Dates Dossier Itineary FAQ Services Mountain Overview Dhaulagiri VII (also known as ‘Putha Hiunchuli’) is the western most peak of the Dhaulagiri Range and an expedition to it is an adventure in the true sense of the word. The area is remote and simply reaching basecamp is a significant achievement. Unlike many other 7000m mountains the peak itself present basically no technical difficulty it does however represents an attractive opportunity for those who want to climb very high. Do not discount this peak – it is still a very serious undertaking and provides excellent training for later 8,000m peaks. Overall it is probably the ‘easiest’ 7,000m peak in Nepal and presents an ideal opportunity for ski touring and ski or snowboard descents of a 7000+m peak.
