Expedition in Tibet
Since the late 1970s the chinese and Tibetan mountaineering associations have been issuing permits to foreign climbers for mount Everest and twenty other summits. The majority of these mountains are part of the high Himalayas between Everest and Shishapangma, though several other interesting 7000-meter and 6000-meter peaks have been opened on other regions of Tibet.
This expedition to
Lakpa Ri and the North Col maximizes many years of accumulated wisdom of the
high Himalaya, a strong record of reaching the top of 8,000ers: Everest, K2,
Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho-Oyu, Shishapangma, and many other 8,000 metre
summits, in addition to more than 25 Himalayan expeditions, in all safety, along
with an intimate knowledge of the Tibetan and Chinese officials who regulate the
permit system. We have conducted more than eleven 7000 metre peak expeditions,
and consider ourselves specialists in identifying, organizing expeditions to,
and getting teams safely to the summit and back down, of the world's 7000ers.
This is our 12th expedition to Tibet since 1986, and we know all of the
bureaucratic officials, liaison officers, yak drivers, and
hoteliers/restaurateurs personally.
