Reviews
“The activity was great! It was cold and rainy, but still manageable. The hut was colder than expected—pack layers and extra snacks!”
“We had a good experience even though the second day was canceled due to weather. It would’ve helped to have a detailed itinerary upfront.”
“Our base guide was excellent. The climbing guide made a cautious decision not to summit due to weather, though some groups did. Still, the experience and hot meal were worth it.”
