    a group of 10 of us just came back from a custom expedition that Earths Edge organised to Syote National Park, in Finland. It was super cold (typically -20C), but without any wind, we were able to have a magical experience, each day doing … More a different activity... snow shoeing, cross country skiing, husky dog sledging, back country skiing, snow hiking and even fat tyre biking. A remarkable trip in a remarkable part of the world. A big thank you to Joannda and the Earths Edge team for organising this for us

    Amazing experience with Earths Edge I have to mention Saira was a great addition as doctor always ready to give advice and support couldn’t have done it without her I had toe injury and she really looked after me

    I just got back from EBC with Earth Edge and what an adventure! The crew were the most wonderful people who took good care of us, shout out to Prasant, Terez, Bibi, Loki & Guvinda. The support prior to the trip was great, the guide … More Prasant was so patient and kind, allowing us to catch up at our own pace. Having a doctor on the tour gave me peace of mind as we climbed to higher altitude, they did everything they could to ensure we were comfortable and cared for. JamJam!! Thank you Earth Edge

We’re looking for one experienced mountaineer who’s fit, resilient, and ready for a proper expedition. 

This is a 30-day expedition where we’ll first climb Mera Peak (6,476m) to acclimatise before heading across to attempt Baruntse, one of the most spectacular peaks in the Himalayas.

It’s shaping up to be a special team. A group of close friends, with highly experienced leadership team in @sfcovins, @dawa_guide & @jammcmanus
