I have been climbing for 15 years, over 4 continents.  This was my 3rd trip to Nepal.  And this was undoubtedly one of the Best-organised expeditions have participated in.  Cannot thank Prakash and his Team enough. The attention to detail both in terms of equipment, climbing conditions, and accommodation/food was outstanding.  And despite having limited exposure to high altitude alpine style climbing, always felt comfortable in the climbs and approach. I put this down to Prakash and his experience as well as the unique approach to team size.  The small team ensures that a more flexible and sensible approach is applied to all technical aspects of the climb – including importantly how you physically feel and acclimatise.  I needed to spend 5 days at Namche due to a sinus infection, and never felt that this jeopardised the rest of my climb. The same goes for weather delays. I  eventually overran the climbing calendar by 5 days without a single complaint from Prakash and his team.  You feel like a climbing partner rather than a paying client.  My only regret is that Alpinist Climber Expeditions does not have a more international footprint as would have liked to climb with Prakash and his Team internationally as well as in Nepal.
