Adventure Consultants is a world-renowned mountain guiding company with a legacy of climbing expeditions to the world's highest peaks, and wilderness treks to the more remote corners of the globe.

Our philosophy of only operating with small guided groups provides a more personalised service. This minimises environmental impact and continues to have a proven advantage in our success rates, superior to any other expedition operator.

We offer 58 expeditions, treks and wilderness journeys to the Himalaya, Antarctica, Arctic, South America, Greenland, Alaska and the Seven Summits in addition to a world class mountaineering guiding service and climbing school in New Zealand and Europe with our IFMGA / NZMGA mountain guides.

Whether you are taking your first steps into the realm of the outdoors, or are a seasoned adventurer, I believe you will find the quality of the experience offered on an Adventure Consultants expedition second to none, and I invite you to contact us to discuss your next adventure.

 Adventure Consultants has been rated in the Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth by the editors of National Geographic ADVENTURE magazine.

LHOTSE TEAM ON SUMMIT PUSH RIGHT NOW WITH DEAN STAPLES AND THOMAS STROMSTEDT JUST BEHIND GOING FOR THE DOUBLE!

The Lhotse 2013 team left Lhotse Camp 4 at 1:30am Nepal time and as of 3:45am Nepal time were just heading into the couloir to begin the steeper section of the climb. Everyone is moving well and in good spirits.  Having just summitted Everest yesterday, Dean Staples and Thomas Stomstedt are going for the double and as of 3:50am were rounding the Geneva Spur from the South Col and heading up to Lhotse Camp 4.

100% SUMMIT SUCCESS FOR 2013 EVEREST TEAM!

A huge congrats to Cason Crane, Dean (Rocket) Hall, Lukas Hochmeister, Josef Hochmeister, Thomas Stromstedt, Simon Gower and Ingolfur Gissurarson.   All have reached the summit of Everest today (May 21) with guides Dean Staples, Lydia Bradey and Ang Dorjee and a Sherpa support team of 16.  They are now making their way back down the mountain for some well deserved celebration and sleep!

Congrats also go out to AC guide Mike Roberts and Tendi who summitted Everest on Sunday morning and then Lhotse on Monday.  Mike is now the second New Zealander  to do both summits in one season with the first being AC founder Rob Hall.
