Safety, environmental sustainability, sensitivity to Nature, an intelligent approach, technical proficiency, personal responsibility and fun are our priorities.

Our Most Important Commitment:
Decades of outdoor adventure have focused our appreciation and dedication on Sherpa children in need. As a result we founded the Education for Orphans of Nepal charity to support the education of as many Nepalese orphans as possible. Starting with a single child in 2001, the EON Charity currently supports the living and education of +75 Sherpa children. It is our goal to raise awareness of the nearly one million orphan children in Nepal, and how an education can expand their possibilities for a bright future. Please read about EON and these deserving children at: www.eoncharitynepal.org. We hope all of our clients will recognize this important opportunity and join the family of EON Patrons and Supporters to assure these children have access to a quality education.
So come enjoy an adventure, benefit a worthy cause, learn a great deal, and have fun safely. Whether you wish to learn an outdoor activity from scratch, summit a particular peak, stand on the Top of the World, enjoy a leisurely trek, or get up close and personal with a Grade 5 ice route that has been keeping you awake, we can make it happen.
