An splendorous mountain

Taken in the march 20th morning, before we start climbing it. It`s possible to see a shelter at the first quarter of the picture.

Re: Very nice !

Tks! It`s really a very nice mountain with a great view. It`s not a tough ascent! Just a 2 days route. The first one through rock and the other day through ice/snow. There are several crevasses fields but they dont`t pass through the route.

Re: Very nice !

Is the route easy to find and follow ?
Where do you sleep the first night ?

Re: Very nice !

Yes, the first middle of the mountain es very easy to follow. Before climbing it, you have to ask permission and pass through a brief check at the park official (you need to have VHF, crampons, piolet, and so on) then they assign you one of the three shelters on the mountain for two nights (one for bad climate conditions). The second middel of the mountain it`s more complicated because you have ice and snow and the path it´s not so clear. I`ve wrote route description but it`s in spanish. You can email me and keep in touch! gdrod@yahoo.com
