Hello,

Any one going to Gasherbrum II June 2024?

Hello everyone,

Me and my husband plan to travel to Ecuador and climb one of the peaks/volcanos above 5000 m. Due to the work schedule, we are considering flying there in Q2-Q3 2024 for 10-14 days. For him, it will be the first time above 3000 m, so I want to make sure it will be a positive experience :)

1) Did anyone climb Cayambe/Cotopaxi/Chimborazo in mid-June? ...

Long range planning - really dreaming of getting into Bavaria for Jan - Feb 2025 winter skiing and possible easy summits. Anyone have good info or links to skiing/climbing around Garmisch?
I lived in Stuttgart 40 years ago (Army husband) and never got the chance to go to Bavaria. As a veteran (Marine Corps), I can get perks in hotels and rental car; seeking info on resorts and ascendable mountains in the area. Thanks!

As of next month (April 2023)...

Looking at a super soon trip for the end of March (3/16 to 4/1 is my window). I’ve mainly been active in the White Mtns in NH in full winter conditions this season. Confident with route finding. Planning to acclimate several days prior. I hope to go unguided but would prefer a partner or two for safety, etc.

Hi,

I want to do a circuit trek around the Cordillera Huayhuash, a circuit of Ausangate and the Cordillera Real Traverse from Illampu to Illmani. From least difficult to most difficult, what is the best sequence to do these in?

Thanks.

Hey everyone, curious when the mountain closes can you still attempt a climb? I mean, once the rangers and search and rescue leave and everything closes can you still summit? Also I have a month before I plan to hike. What are some other good pre hikes around that area in either Chile or Argentina? Thanks a lot for your help and advice. I fly into Santiago on the 1 st of January. J.C.

Crazy but true. Going in October so I will check it out, I expected to have no communication to the outside world for a few days It will be interesting to see how well it works.

My son and I are headed to Huaraz, Peru, to do some trekking and climbing in the Cordillera Blanca. We have hired a guide service. Does anyone know what the tipping expectations are for the guide, the cook, the porter, and the donkey driver?

Hi guys!

I´ve heard that the glacier above Gouter Hut has worsen / deteriorated making the route somewhat more difficult. Can anyone confirm and share some first hand reliable info?

Cheers / Henric
