Q: So what’s the purpose?
A: Adventure, reflection, and challenge are the first words that come to mind. Our goal is to give you an opportunity to do something you’ve always wanted to do anyway and do it with a purpose. Not only will you have the adventure of a lifetime, you will also get to climb with some great people and explore your spiritual walk as you travel with some of today’s most respected authors and speakers.

Q: Who does this kind of thing?
A: Anyone with a desire to challenge themselves and have an inspiring journey. All expeditions are accessible to anyone in relatively good physical condition. Physical training is necessary but is easily attainable with a regular fitness routine (you’ve wanted to get into shape anyway!) The trip is open to any male from ages 13-80. Anyone under 18 needs be accompanied by an adult, so we encourage father and son teams to climb together.

Q: Who leads the trips?
A: The team will be led and coordinated by Joel Malm. Joel has extensive experience coordinating similar trips. For more challenging hikes a local guide with many years of experience and extensive knowledge of the terrain will be leading our team along with very qualified porters and assistants.

Q: Do I need prior experience?
A: No. All trips can be done by first timers.

Q: Can women come?
A: Certain trips are open to women only.
