Scrambing on vertical uneven rocky section, Ama Dablam Expedition

Technically challenging commercial peak expeditions below 8000M to climb in Nepal

For climbers seeking a technically challenging commercial peak climbing expedition in Nepal, we have compiled a list of amazing expeditions. By no means are these expeditions suitable for beginner/Intermediate level climbers. This one is for the pure grit lovers who want to enjoy, suffer, test their skills, and experience type 2 fun in the remote Nepalese Himalayan peaks.

Most commercial expedition teams avoid super technical routes but with some mountains, you just can’t find a way around it. The only way to accomplish the expedition is to put your technical climbing skills to the test. These expeditions require climbers to have all the necessary skills for technical climbing. For the sake of clarity, all commercial expedition does have a fixed rope system in place, unless all the team members want to go alpine-style without the assistance of a fixed rope. Fixed-line ropes are there for safety and assistance.

Skills such as climbing 70 - 90 degrees vertical routes, traversing on knife-edge ridges or couloirs, ice climbings skills on verticals, scrambling on rocky sections, being ok on uneven exposed areas, and long abseiling on vertical and vastly exposed sections. This sort of climb is more of an art form combined with pure strength and grit. So now that we have mentioned the level you need to be at, the expeditions mentioned below will give you their fair share of amazing technical climbing challenges.

AMA DABLAM 6810M EXPEDITION

Ama Dablam is our very first recommendation because the summit success rate is relatively higher compared to other peak expeditions on the list. It does have to do with its popularity and many other teams being in the mountain.

Dominating the views of the Khumbu trail, Ama Dablam is picturesque it is this magnificent peak also provides the challenges of climbing a technical peak expedition. Ama Dablam is the third most peak expedition permit that is issued every year. With Autumn being 90% of the permit issued, if you want to see very few climbing teams then spring climb should be your choice. This one is a must for all mountaineering enthusiasts.

Cholatse expedition is considered a step up or technically challenging mountain compared to the Ama Dablam expedition. This towering 6640M peak sits right between Gokyo valley and Everest. Do not underestimate the peak because it does now tower above 6500M. The never-ending knife-edge ridge sections above 6000M and climbing on the super exposed mixed section are not to be taken lightly. These types of expeditions are more for the alpinist nature who loves the art of alpine climbing and perseverance.
