Description

Join our experienced guide on this once-in-a-lifetime climb to the summit of one of the Andes’ 6,000ers!

We begin our ascent with a five-hour hike through the beautiful Ishinca Valley, which affords us stunning views of the surrounding mountains and glaciers. At the end of the five hours we will arrive at our base camp and set up.

The next day, we will hike for another two hours until we arrive at the foot of the glacier and begin setting up our climbing equipment. This will then be followed by a one-hour climb to Camp 1. We will spend that night camping on the glacier, with spectacular views back into the valley.

At 3 am the next morning, we will wake up and begin our final ascent to the summit. This will involve about five hours of climbing, including up a 60 meter wall that can either be done with ropes or as a free climb, depending on what you are comfortable with.

Once we reach the summit, there will be sublime views of some of the surrounding mountains, including Huascaran, Santa Cruz, and Ranrapalca. After a brief stay we will begin our climb back down to Camp 1 and then on to Base Camp.

On the final day, we will pack up our gear and hike back down through the Ishinca Valley before returning to Huaraz.

Book now for the adventure of a lifetime, conquering the peak of one of Peru’s pristine 6,000ers!

His first steps he was off trekking and exploring on his own - through remote valleys and high Andean lakes. By age 12, he became the youngest to summit Mt. Vallunaraju (5686m). He next summited Nevado Chopicalqui (6354) at age 14, and by age 15, he stood on top of Nevado Huascaran - the summit he always dreamt of and the highest mountain in Peru. Beto remains the youngest Peruvian to have summited Huascaran.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
