From the first time I emailed them to when I was dropped off at the airport on the way home. They were brilliant. My guide for the climb was Dawa who has summited Everest twice and as a novice to climbing I felt in really safe hands. Standing on top of Island Peak was unbelievable. Will be back to do more next year. Thanks to everyone | Frank
