Welcome To Challenge8000

The year 2010 will be a historic one for Malta as the Challenge8000 team will attempt to climb the highest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest. In what is probably the ultimate adventure sporting challenge, the team will be the first Maltese to climb to an elevation of 8,848metres and stand on top of the world.

In September 2009, the Challenge8000 team climbed Mount Cho Oyu. This made them the first three Maltese climbers to ever summit an 8,000metre peak.  Cho Oyu, at 8,201metres, is the sixth highest mountain in the world.

Everest Support Trek and Acclimatisation Climb

This is an opportunity to accompany the Challenge8000 team during their approach march and acclimatising mountain. The mountain we will attempt, Nirekha (6150m), is a little known peak with a great view. From the summit the panorama includes Pumori, Cho Oyu, Nuptse, Lhotse and Everest. You can look right into the Western Cwm. This mythic place was first explored by Eric Shipton in 1951, who thereby proved that the great mountain could be climbed from Nepal. We will be trekking through not only foreign lands but also into the past.
