Island Peak Climbing

23rd October, 2024

Island Peak and Ama Dablam Expedition was much tougher than I expected, especially the final push to the summit. The altitude and cold made it very challenging, but the views and the feeling of standing on top were absolutely worth it. It’s an experience I’ll never forget.
