We’re looking for a few more people to sign up for our October trip to Island Peak, a trek/climb that even a beginner mountaineer could handle but that offers up full views of Mt. Everest and a hike to the famous Everest Base Camp. Island Peak, also known as Imja Tse, maxes out at 20,000 feet at its peak in eastern Nepal.

Imja Tse was first climbed in 1953 by a British team as a training exercise in preparation for Everest and is today an insider trekking favorite the world over.
