The air bites, the lungs and legs are heavy, and the altitude makes every movement feel like you’re walking in glue – no doubt about it, it’s tough at the top, but it’s also unforgettable. No feeling compares to summiting: that final push, the sunrise, a once in a lifetime panorama. But best of all is the sense of accomplishment. Nepal’s Island Peak affords one of the Himalaya’s grandest views, its isolated summit the perfect vantage to check out in widescreen the Everest Range’s biggest behemoths. Every experienced climber knows that at the top, the mountain is only half-climbed, and every enthusiast knows that getting to the top is half the fun. The crisp light and clean air, the camaraderie of the group, simple pleasures like a hot drink and a snug tent – all memories that you treasure as much as those of the summit itself.
