climbing expeditions
Organized peak attempts
Climbing expeditions are organized journeys to ascend mountains or rock formations, typically involving significant planning, equipment, and multiple participants.
The term usually implies ambitious undertakings—multi-day or multi-week efforts on major peaks rather than casual day hikes: The climbing expedition to K2 took three months.
Expeditions may include professional guides, porters, and support teams establishing base camps at progressively higher altitudes.
