The ascent of the Grand is likely the greatest combined physical/mental accomplishment of my 56 years. It would have been well beyond my capabilities absent the exemplary training provided by and the expertise of our stellar group of guides. The four day trip with JHMG is a once in a life time experience because of the combination of training by the JHMG guides, their expertise/professionalism, and the amenities and acclimatization provided by the JHMG high camp. This trip requires mountaineering skills and conditioning so be sure to come to it fit and strong.
