Description
Live an unforgettable experience and climb two 6,000m peaks in the Cordillera Blanca on this 7-day program. Follow me to the summit of Ranrapalca and Tocllaraju!
Situated in the Cordillera Blanca and the Huascaran National Park, Ranrapalca (6,162 meters) and Tocllaraju (6,034 meters) are two iconic popular mountains in the Peruvian Andes. On this 7-day program, we’ll take the north face route to Ranrapalca and the west face to Tocllaraju. The first face requires 800 meters of climbing and steep sections along the way. As for the second one, we’ll face 600 meters of climbing and a mixed pitch route on the way.
Due to the technical challenges of these ascents, this program is for experienced climbers with an excellent level of fitness and prior ice climbing knowledge. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you.
So, does this adventure to the 6,000m peaks in the Cordillera Blanca sound exciting? Then get in touch with me by sending the request to make your reservation. You won’t regret your choice!
Otherwise, you can join me to the summit of the great Huascaran!

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!

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.
