The Government of Nepal has now confirmed early news reports that tourism and mountaineering would be shut down for the spring climbing season, and they have issued official documents.
Our top priority is the health and wellbeing of our Climbing and Trekking Teams as well as our loyal staff in Nepal. We have been in touch with our 2020 Spring Everest Team and are rescheduling the Expedition. There are still a great number of unknowns surrounding the abrupt end to the spring season that we are working through.
We are committed to working with our team and I want to voice my appreciation to everyone for their understanding as we navigate this difficult time.
Mount Everest is not going anywhere and we will be back as soon as we can!
