Island Peak is for climbing in the Everest region of Nepal. Locally, it is known as Imja Tse. Internationally, it is popular as Island Peak because it resembles an island in a sea of ice when viewed from Dingboche. The peak is a rise from an extension of the south ridge of Lhotse Shar (8393m. It has unforgettable views of Nuptse, Lhotse (8501m), and Lhotse Shar to the North, Makalu (8463m), and Cho Polu to the East and Ama Dablam and Baruntse to the South of the summit.
We have an experienced climbing guide who fix our own climbing rope and manage the climbs on his professional skills. Our climbing guide gives a class about how to make some useful knots, using climbing devices and techniques at Base Camp a day before you are climbing to the summit of Island Peak 6189m.
How difficult is the Island Peak climbing expedition?
Island Peak is easy for climbing expedition compared to other trekking peaks in Nepal. From High Camp, the path is narrow, steep, zigzags, and some scrambling over the rock before we reach to the crampon point at the edge of the glacier. After the set of climbing gears, we climb on the glacier traverse where we cross a few deep crevasses which have to be crossed on ladders to reach the bottom of the summit steep ice wall. Then, we climb to steep summit ice wall where the guide fixes the climbing rope and with a jumar, ice axe and crampon, the summit ice wall climbing is still not totally technical. But, it is still challenging of high altitude.
How to reach Island Peak Base Camp?
We fly to Lukla Airport from Kathmandu and the walk begins from here. We climb Island Peak combined Everest Base Camp Trek for safe acclimatization including the hike up to Kala Pattar and Khongma La before we are pushing to Island Peak Base Camp.
