Overview
Because of the popularity of its neighbour, Lhotse is sometimes overlooked by those outside the climbing industry. However, the world’s fourth-highest peak has grown in popularity among climbers seeking a less-crowded – and probably more difficult – alternative to Everest. This 8,516m summit poses major obstacles for professional mountaineers.
The Alpinist Climber Expedition’s strategies and approach to climb Mount Lhotse have been the reasons that helped us keep up with the highest success rates. We give a high Guide ratio, ensuring the right support for your summit and the safety.
As the climbers stand on the summit, they also become part of an exceptional adventure. However, it is crucial to remember that the mountain demands respect. As well as safety should always be the first priority for those who dare to attempt the climb.
