Adventure Consultants

Adventure Consultants is a mountaineering and adventure tour company that gained notoriety during the 1996 Mount Everest disaster. Founded by Rob Hall in 1992, it specialized in guiding clients up Everest and other peaks, offering support and expertise for climbers attempting challenging ascents. The company provided logistical assistance, training, and equipment to ensure safety and success. The tragic events of 1996, in which several climbers lost their lives during a severe storm, raised significant awareness about the risks of extreme climbing and the ethics of commercial expeditions. Today, it is often referenced in discussions about adventure tourism and mountain climbing.
