Island Peak Climbing is one of the most adventurous activities in Everest region. Island Peak, also known as Imja Tse Peak, was first ascended in 1953 by British team in the process of preparation of climbing Mount Everest, and to the surprise, Tenzing Norgay was the only one among the members to ascend it successfully.
Island Peak Climbing in interesting and attractive with highly glaciated west face rising from the Lhotse glacier. Island Peak, itself is the extension of the south ridge of Lhotse Shar separated by a small col. Climbing Island Peak, not only provides an enjoyable climb, but also provides the spectacular scenary of Himalayas in the Khumbu region including the Mt. Everest (8848m.), Mt.Nuptse (7855m), Lhotse (8516m), Lhotse Middle Peak (8410m) and Lhotse Shar (8383m) make a semi circle in the north.
The normal route for Island Peak climbing is South East Flank & South-West Ridge,normally, the Island Peak base camp is set at Pareshaya Gyab (5,087m), between Imja Tse and the lateral moraine of the Imja Glacier. Proper care should be taken to avoid the possible avalanche in the event of heavy snow fall. From the base camp, a well acclimatized party in good conditions can make the summit and return to the base camp in a day. However, most of the climbers prefer alpine style camping at high camp which adds the joy of climbing and helps a safe ascent.
