Adventure Consultants are recognised on Everest as being the premier guiding service; we  provide suitably prepared climbers with the best chance at the summit in a very comfortable and highly organised atmosphere.

Our guiding staff add a tangible degree of safety, expertise and guidance  - the support they provide will make the difference between a difficult trip and a safe and enjoyable one. The success of an expedition is often determined by factors that are planned well in advance of the actual climbing; the many years we have been fine tuning the operational ‘blue print’ has led to a considerable increase in the proportion of our expedition members that reach the summit.

Our Sherpa and  Guide team are of the highest calibre in the industry and our ratios are higher than that provided by other expedition operators. Whilst we see some other operators foregoing the use of western Guides in favour of Sherpa-only guiding staff, we know that this places undue pressure on these highly capable but largely untrained people.  Instead, our expedition combines the strengths of our Guides and Sherpas to operate as a cohesive unit, contributing to a more complete team overall.    
   
AC has a legacy of employing the most up-to-date and appropriate technological equipment and systems; we are constantly evolving these systems to ensure we are performing to the highest levels of modern expeditioning. We incorporate specialised weather forecasting services into our ascent program and apply our knowledge base to interpret these towards a higher standard of decision making and success rates. We place special focus on catering and sustenance, training our cooking staff to provide excellent meals that earn constant positive feedback from our clients. We employ our own dedicated expedition doctor whose sole purpose is to ensure the ongoing health of the team members, staff and Sherpas and we have a qualified Basecamp manager to support the whole team in Basecamp and while they are on the mountain.

An attempt on Mt Everest is a committing undertaking which requires a huge amount of dedication and determination. If you are serious about achieving the top and feel you have the right ingredients and experience, we invite you to apply for a position on our team in 2013, on what will be our twentieth Everest expedition.
