Island Peak & EBC - Route

The climb begins with three hours of scrambling to the Imja Tse glacier. Our route then ascends the east side of the mountain.

An hour of climbing over and around crevasses brings us to the fixed lines. These lines run directly up the South East face at 65 degrees for 400 feet to the summit.
