Hi,
It's no problem to climb Izta in April, just some posibility of bad weather (it is not a rain season still in Mexico), hot climate during the climbing. But Orizaba, the glacier is not in a very good conditions ( more icy each day) so in April it may be worst. If yu are a realy good in carmpoing bad ice, so you can go orizaba without problem. If not- think.
write me if ...

I get to Nepal on April 8th, and we were going to do some trekking and climbing. I found out yesterday my buddy is has to bail on the trip. This begs two questions. Is anyone else in the area and looking for a quick jaunt up a hill? Or does anyone think that Mera or Island could be easily soloed?

Looking for information on Kang Yatze (near Leh, India) routes. I couldn't find much on the internet.
I'm specifically interested in the NE Arete (or Buttress?).

In this picture, the NE Arete leading to the main summit (Kang Yatze I) is marked PD/AD, while the
NW Slope leading to Kang Yatze II is marked F (facile). On the other hand, Jamie Mcguiness says
the route to the main summit has been done unroped (see details ...

I have seen the word "Calero" used for the high camp on the normal route. The correct name is Coléra, sometimes spelled Choléra (scary name :-) )

There may be new rules coming up for next year. A proposal from the government states that it wants to minimize the number of agencies in the park. Obviously it will only be five admitted into the park next season ...

I'll be in the Huaraz area from approx. June 17-27 (leaving Lima on June 28 ). I'm traveling with two friends who are interested in trekking (we're heading first to Cusco/MP for about 8 or 9 days then to Huaraz) but not in climbing. So, they're leaving around June 24 and I will stay a bit longer to do some climbing. I have experience in rock climbing and ice climbing and very basic mountaineering, but ...

is finished.

Hi, I'm planning on soloing Ixta and if that goes well, then Orizaba from March 26-31. However, I would really prefer to have a partner. Anyone interested? I'll be in Mexico City from March 20 and plan on doing Nevada del Toluca for acclimatization. I'm not super experienced, but I am comfortable with crampons, ice axe, and glacier travel.

:?: I am considering doing the Ausangate trek in Peru. Can anyone recommend a reliable trekking operator? There will only be two of us and we are planning on going in mid-late June. (I am concerned that whoever we make reservations with will cancel at the last moment due to a larger group taking precedence.) Any recommendations, tips, or alternative route ideas would be appreciated.
