yeah you can do this with almost no experience -but i would not recommend it. the himalayas is somewhere you go once you have cut your teeth somewhere else. it is something to be savoured once you have earned it. the mountains are fickle and it is best to know your stuff rather than relying on someone else. you also need to trust your team. and that can only come with experience. whatever, it is a beautiful place and worth experiencing.

I agree almost none but dont be fooled. Things happen at altitude and so any experience you can get helps. Small issues such as climbing late in the season so that ropes anchored by stakes loosen as the sun rises is a mjor issue and so having experience helps you recognise unsafe ropes and links.

Amazing! I'd love to do this. How much experience do you need for Island Peak?

Almost none with a competent guide
