About
A dream without action will always remain a dream
Climbing Mount Everest has always been my ultimate dream— it has driven much of my passion for adventure and significant events over the last number of years. Whilst I may not have started out on the path of climbing high mountains I am committed to making this a reality. In aid of ISPCC, an incredible charity partner that aims to Protect Childhood! Please follow the journey and support the incredible work of the team!
The Challenge
What does it take to climb Mount Everest?
Climbing Everest is an extraordinary adventure that requires careful planning. Here, I'll cover four key categories: the height, the route, the duration, the costs involved. These factors are crucial to ensure I'm well prepared for this adventure. Let's get started!
The Height
8848m
Mount Everest, the highest peak on Earth, reaches an awe-inspiring height of 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet) above sea level, symbolizing the ultimate challenge for climbers worldwide. Its towering presence not only commands respect for its immense altitude but also represents human perseverance and the grandeur of nature
The Route
North Ridge
I have chosen the notoriously more dangerous north route for my ascent, knowing it presents greater challenges and risks. However, this bold decision should help me avoid the infamous summit queues and enjoy a more isolated, authentic experience.
The Duration
42 Days Long
Embarking on a 42-day journey in the mountains, I will immerse myself in nature's beauty, embracing the challenges and triumphs that with each passing day. This extended adventure promises to be a transformative experience, filled with breathtaking views and personal growth.
The Cost
My Life Savings
The cost for my tour to climb Everest is approximately €75,000. However, when you factor additional expenses such as equipment, insurance, and other related costs, total bill could rise to around €80,000 to €90,000. It's important to consider these additional expenses when planning for this incredible adventure.
