Stepping Up Your Mountaineering Game
EBC is often the gateway drug. Once you have tasted the thin air of the Mount Everest expedition, you want more. What is the logical next step?
Higher altitude (5,895m) but non-technical. It tests your lungs more than EBC. It’s a great way to see if you handle extreme altitude well.
Stay in Nepal and try a trekking peak. Mera (6,476m) is high but easy. Island Peak is technical. Both give you a summit, not just a base camp. Real climbing.
Ready for the Seven Summits? Elbrus (Europe) or Aconcagua (South America) are the next rungs on the ladder towards a potential Mount Everest summit attempt in the future.
The world is full of mountains. EBC is just the beginning.
