Participants underwent intensive instruction in:
Glacier travel and crevasse rescue
Ice climbing techniques and belay systems
Rope work, knots, and rappelling

Participant Highlights
Among the enthusiastic group were:

We congratulate each of them—and all 6 climbers—on their achievement and dedication throughout the course. The team now carries the skills and confidence to tackle future alpine challenges, including the European Alps and beyond.
Adaptation & Accomplishment
In addition to technical mastery, participants gained vital altitude adaptation, experiencing and managing the physiological demands of climbing above 5,000 meters. This course has empowered every climber to take their next step toward greater summits safely and confidently.

The Himalaya Summit Club extends best wishes to all participants for their next adventures. We hope to see them again on future climbs—perhaps Manaslu, Ama Dablam, or Everest itself.
Congratulations to the 2025 HMC Graduates!
Keep climbing, keep exploring.
