Client Experiences

Client Testimonials
I started climbing at the age of 40, just eight years ago. I remember my wife asking me to choose mountain partners who were more experienced than me. With that in mind and after more than a dozen expeditions done, I have no hesitation in saying that Pemba is not only one of the most skilled climbers I’ve ever climbed with, but also a spiritual and sensitive leader. This background makes Pemba the best partner for high mountain expeditions.

Pemba Sherpa helped me every step of the way on my journey to the Khumbu region of the Himalayas. His dedication to his culture and connection to the mountains made it a great experience. He is an extension of the area in which he lives and personifies excellence in climbing and photography. I felt lucky to have him as a guide.

I’ve climbed with Pemba on five Himalayan expeditions since 2018, and there’s no one I’d trust more in the mountains. Pemba doesn’t lead with words - he doesn’t need to. His experience, instinct, and calm presence all speak for themselves. When you’re pushing your limits at altitude, his is the kind of quiet confidence that’s invaluable. Pemba also has an incredible ability to read both the mountain and the people he’s guiding. He knows when to push, when to hold back, and when to let you figure things out for yourself. There’s no ego, no unnecessary risks - just a steady, unshakable confidence and commitment to getting you up and down safely. I’ve had my share of close calls in the mountains, and I know from experience that when things get serious, you want someone like Pemba by your side. Whether you’re tackling your first high-altitude climb or pushing into truly serious terrain, Pemba is the guide you want with you. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
