If you already have the appropriate technical skills, then the greatest factor is often the length of the summit day, and the weather will of course be a factor controlling whether you will have the opportunity to make a summit attempt. We also need to consider the length of the climbing days, the amount of height gain between each camp, the number of camps and the weather that we are likely to encounter… could any of these factors make it more difficult for YOU? Just because a peak is technically straightforward, it doesn’t mean it is ‘easy’, or that YOU will be able to climb it without any difficulty. For some, what draws them is the sheer beauty of the peak! What constitutes an easy peak?Ī technically ‘easy’ peak does not always mean you will have the best chance of success on the mountain, because ‘easy’ won’t necessarily mean the same thing to everyone, and this is often misunderstood. It may be the dates of the climbing season that work best, the weather in the region, or simply the price for a particular trip. Some people choose a peak in a certain country or region because they want to vary their experience or explore somewhere new, others due to the technical challenge or the chance of success. Like all mountains, 7000m peaks come in many different formats, shapes and sizes, and the decision as to which one to climb will be based on several criteria. For many people, choosing to climb a 7000m peak is the next big step up, so how do you make sure you choose the right one?
