The majority of clients will already be proficient in the basic skills to efficiently and safely move across, moderate rock, glacier and snow terrain with prior ascents of multiple 6000 and 7000 meter peaks.

However, through Prakash’s bespoke training plan this endeavour is open to all. We have the ability and experience to take clients with no previous climbing experience to the top of the world in as little as two years, this period will include at least fourteen weeks in and on the mountains. Beginning with a strategy completely tailored to a client’s goals and abilities. We then mentor and train them through each aspect of our four-point training plan gaining all the necessary technical skills required for such a challenge. All of this which begins on planned lower mountain expeditions throughout the first half of your journey. 

In addition, and key to Prakashs’ approach is a programme designed for teach clients to be completely in-tune with their body, and how it performs under the stresses of increasing altitudes. With his stepped approach to this learning it allows time for an individual to gradually build confidence and understanding to a point of invaluable self-awareness. This ability is of the uppermost importance to guide an individual’s judgements and decisions on the higher mountains.

It’s one of the reasons our ‘Road Map to Everest’ leads towards at least one other 8000m peak before our clients even set foot on the Khumbu Icefall. This delivers the understanding of exactly how each team member performs in these unforgiving environments. Primarily it informs critical safety decisions, and secondly secures the best possible chance of success without wasting anybody’s time or money.
