Overview

Island Peak, also known as Imja Tse, is a classic Himalayan climbing peak that juts out from the Imja Glacier like an island in a sea of ice. The standard route involves glacier walking, a steep headwall, and a dramatic summit ridge — perfect for climbers ready to step up from trekking to technical climbing.
