It was certainly a challenge but very rewarding to complete this experience. It was unfortunately not a clear day and this made it a little more challenging for a first timer of a snow climb, but the guides were great and it was well worth it.

Pablo was amazing and let us use good shoes to go up the mountain. You must be in good physical condition to do this tour and take a few days to get used to the altitude. Pablo does his absolute best for you to reach your best potential in climbing this mountain. I have never done this before , for me it was amazing that I almost made it to the top and he helped me a lot, it was just me. I’m still proud of myself for achieving this and you will too. Pablo makes sure you are safe and prepared and he has a lot of knowledge of Huaraz. Amazing views , something spectacular that I can look back on and be proud of. I will come again one day , stay in Huaraz longer to get used to altitude and try this tour again with only Pablo which runs this tour. He is amazing and he takes care of you every step of the way.
