| 4 liters and a 6 am start just about got two of us through the August sun on this climb. Thanks to Nigel for the beta. A few comments: the hardest bit is the "preliminary" section before Che Guevara officially begins; Che himself is entirely mellow. The hiking above the finish is a delight, especially the shady bits. And trail 426 is "chiuso" in 2009; but most will, like us, prefer descending 427 down the shady north side of the peak. This is a good trail but one has to watch carefully, as it repeatedly runs with various forest roads and then makes poorly marked divergences. |
