Sean Wisedale on the summit of Mount Everest. 30 May 2003

Guided expeditions with Sean Wisedale

Mt Kilimanjaro - Mt Everest Base Camp - Mt Kenya - Mt Aconcagua

Since completing the 'Seven Summits' many individuals, groups and corporate teams have requested Sean guide them to various mountains around the world.

Sean specialises in expeditions that allow the 'average person' to feel comfortable while facing the challenges of ascending to high altitude. Sean accompanies every group. He works with carefully selected local guides and accommodates everyone in the best hotels (in single rooms), at the beginning and end of the climb.

 Altitude has varying effects on every individual. Sean therefore insists on a medical background questionnaire, prior to acceptance, so that he has insight into the physical condition of everyone in the group.

During the climb Sean also keeps a beady eye on the quality of food and water provided, and how much you are eating and drinking. Plentiful hydration and food intake aids efficient acclimatisation and an enjoyable summit. Sean does not encourage the use of diaphoretics as an aid to acclimatising. Instead he takes personal care of everyone's wellness with good meals and without 'nannying' anyone. On Mt Kilimanjaro, an extra day on the mountain is provided for you to acclimatise well.

Most importantly, Sean's expeditions are great fun shared with dynamic, like-minded people.

Cape Union Mart and First Ascent offer a 20% discount on all gear purchases for anyone joining Sean's expeditions.
