FAQ — Terranova Exped

Late June–September generally gives the best windows. We plan flexible buffer days and monitor wind/chill charts. Pre-monsoon attempts are possible with colder nights and firmer snow.

Ability to trek 8–10 km with 600–900 m gain carrying 8–10 kg, plus weekly strength sessions. We share a 6–8 week plan covering endurance, hill repeats, core, and mobility.

Shared gear (ropes, anchors) is ours. Personal gear—double boots, harness, helmet, crampons—can be rented at base. We send a detailed checklist with recommended brands and fit tips.

Itineraries follow “climb high, sleep low” where possible, with daily SpO₂/HR checks. Leaders are trained for AMS/HACE/HAPE protocols with O₂, pressure bags, and evacuation plans.

Absolutely—many climbers join solo. Typical teams are 8–12 with a high guide-to-client ratio. Private departures are available on request.

Deposits block your slot and logistics. If weather closes the window, we reschedule or offer credit per our policy. Ask us for the full T&Cs; we strive to be flexible and fair.

Winters favor crisp skies and stable snow but require warmer layers and shorter daylight routines. Summer brings longer days and more benign temps; monsoon routing varies by region.
