The Island Peak Climb!!!!
Island peak (Imja Tse) - 6189M is Located in the Everest region between Chukung glacier and Mount Ama Dablam. Island Peak is One of the most popular trekking Peak climbing in Nepal. Eric Shipton (a British Mountaineer) 1951 named Island Peak as it seems like an Island in the Sea of ICE seen from Dingboche. This Peak is also called Imja Tes but Island peak is widely famous.
How difficult is it to climb?
Island Peak is famous for those climbers who are willing to enter the mountaineering world means it is suitable for beginner and intermediate climbers as well as for advanced level climbers.

Congrats on an epic accomplishment. you are now, officially, a Himalayan mountaineer!

[@MtAdams]

This is the best footage i have seen on Island Peak. Hope to climb it, some day. I did EBC in 2019. Thank you for publishing it, it is awesome!

[@AkarshGoel32]

Amazing bro.. congrats!

[@travelari]

Thank you sir! It was an amazing experience.

[@sandipdhungana2495]

Good one bro

[@enjoynepaltreks6860]

Wow...Congratulations

[@alexthai4957]

Excellent video. I did EBC in December 2019 and scheduled for Island Peak in November 2023. How were you able to maintain battery charge for that much time and cold temperatures? Solar panel, battery bank? Also, what camera recorded that outstanding footage? Thanks again for sharing your well documented adventure!

[@_sushil.maharjan]

hey random stranger, i am going as well on Nov 2023

[@travelari]

Thank you for your comments! I had a spare battery. I kept on my pocket and hold it by my hand while shooting!

[@tomilerner3583]

hey man, i m planning on doing Island Peak next month, if you want to team up or already have a team I would be happy to join you :)

[@tomk3732]

Did Mera, Island and Lebuche solo in one trip. Island has the most confusing route. All summit pushes are rather physically not super taxing - we are talking about between 4h and 6h depending on your speed for all of them. However, doing all 3 in few weeks in addition to all the hiking starts to add up & one is getting tired towards the end. Neither of the 3 peaks is technical - through easiest (just walk) is Mera. The final wall on Island is not very steep - it looks far worse on video or in photos than in real life. The rope makes the climb a bit easier & faster. I say technical difficulty is higher for the pass before Island peak coming from Mera - on the whole trip that was technically hardest. Sherpa use little crampons for a reason - they are in many cases far better choice than actual crampons - especially on mixed terrain.

[@silveriver9]

Which one do you find the hardest of the 3? I'm considering Island Peak as Mera seems too "flat". I've trekked EBC recently, so I'm now looking to do a 6000m. Do you recommend Island Peak or Lobuche East? I currently don't have rope experience.

[@tomk3732]

@@silveriver9 Mera is indeed flat and no fixed ropes or very minimal. But is highest of the three. Both Island and Lobuche East are super similar - since you did EBC maybe for your next trip you need to plan a bit different route so as not to repeat.

[@martinmercado2771]

Enhorabuena, buena actividad,bergheil

[@leachman90]

Very very nice video. How would you rate the decent on the rock/snow face just below the summit?

[@dingus2218]

did you have to change into special summiting boots or just put crampons for your trekking boots my friend?

[@travelari]

If you have special trekking boots then you don't have to chance but if you have normal trekking boots then you need summit boots.

[@dingus2218]

@@travelari thank you for your help brother ! Did you have your own summiting boots or did you rent them? I am headed to the Khumbu in November :)

@@dingus2218 I have my own climbing boots but there are several shops where you can rent boots and other climbing gear. Which trip you are going to do on November?

[@dingus2218]

@@travelari i'm going to do Imja Tse and Lobuche east, my friend. I'm looking at the cheapest way to do two peaks climbs, most likely meeting the agency in the base camp because I don''t need a big 14-day package; I will walk two of the passes to acclimatise and then push for summits. Can you recommend any agencies that might do these itineraries?

[@zoltantorok7479]

hey I'm looking to go in end of october but still not decided between island peak or lobuche east...can you tell what's the differences

[@travelari]

Thank you so much your comment. Regarding your queries of Island peak and Lobuche peak here's the Answer. as you know both are trekking peaks with similar altitude of nearly 6200m but lobuche is more technical and bit rocky compare to Island peak. If you would like to book the trip around Nepal with me or if you have more queries regarding the Nepal trip kindly text me on whats app [phone] or you can E mail me on [e-mail] Have a wanderful day! Thank you!😍

[@tomk3732]

I did both. Same trip. Not really any difference. They are almost identical in every respect. Maybe main difference is that Lobuche East is not true summit of Lobuche. Route on Loubuche is easier to navigate when solo.

[@silveriver9]

​​@@tomk3732 Island Peak or Louche East which of the two has better summit views?

[@tomk3732]

@@silveriver9 They have very similar views and both are very similar climbs. They are also very close to each other. I feel Island peak is more popular.

[@ewolmullac6706]

I haven’t ever done climbing with ropes next year I’m doing a hike to base camp but whilst I’m there I fancy going up to 6000 metres. Is this a good one to start with? I’ve seen a lot of reviews about it being suitable for beginners but thought maybe I’d ask some People’s advice who have actually been im Doing it around April 2024 time. Thank you

[@travelari]

Hi, Thanks for your comment and interest in doing base camp and 6k meters peak. This is a perfect peak for beginners to start the climbing journey. Let me know if you need my help to arrange your trek and climb, I would be pleased to help you.

[@tomk3732]

Did all three trekking peaks in Nepal in 2022. Easiest is Mera. Island and Lebuche are about the same. All suitable for beginners. For Mera all you need is hiking & know how of altitude sickness.

[@uddin1659]

What month did you climb?

[@travelari]

Hi, thank you for the comment. it was in May,2022.

[@rangurko5938]

Which month is best in island climb

[@travelari]

Thank you so much for your comment, April may and September October is the best time for Island peak.

[@anshch9092]
