Summits

For over a decade, Climbalaya has been guiding successful expeditions on the challenging north side of Mount Everest. With a remarkable 90% success rate and an unwavering commitment to safety (zero fatalities), we are recognized as the most accomplished locally based expedition organizer.

Climbing Milestones:

We are proud to have facilitated several historic ascents, including:

The first combat-wounded amputee veteran to summit Everest (The Heroes Project Team USMC Staff Sergeant Charlie Linville)
The first Ukrainian woman to conquer Everest (Irina Galay)
The first Hungarian to summit Everest from both the south side (Nepal) and north side (Tibet) (Emil Neszmelyi)

Summit Day

First Step (8,500m): Short rock buttress with fixed ropes
Second Step (8,580m): Famous ladder section with fixed ropes
Third Step (8,690m): Less serious but still requiring care
Summit Slope: Steep snow sections with fixed ropes to the summit

Why should you choose to climb Mt. Everest from the north side?

Factor	North Side (Tibet)	South Side (Nepal)
Crowds	60% fewer climbers (≈150 vs. 400+)	Severe bottlenecks (Hillary Step/Icefall, traffic jams)
Safety	No Khumbu Icefall (deadliest section)	High avalanche/crevasse risk in Icefall
Summit Day	Shorter push (8300m Camp → Summit: 6-9 hrs)	Longer push (7950m Camp → Summit: 10-14 hrs)
Access	Drive to Base Camp (5200m)	10-day trek to Base Camp (5364m)
