Island peak is not technical such as the Lobuche Peak but still uses ladders ascenders with safety ropes. During our training day at Island Peak Base Camp, our Beyond the Limits team will make sure that you are properly educated in the use of the equipment to make a comfortable and successful ascend to the top of Island Peak at 6,189m/20,305ft.
