This trekking peak provides a challenging but achievable alternative to full scale mountaineering expeditions and gives you a chance to stand on top of a Himalayan peak. Trekking peaks do vary in terms of difficulty from non-technical plods to very technical climbs. Island peak is mostly a plod up but does require the use of an ice axe and crampons and there is one part where a rope is needed.Trip
